I really don't know where to go from here because your criteria of what is real doesn't make sense to me. To me science hasn't explained consciousness (within, beyond, around, whatever) of a mind and it is real.

Erin, let's not get off track with an "You said I said you said" debate ..
The WILL TURN OUT TO BE REAL statement was NOT about "Consciousness"
It was about "Consciousness beyond the confines of a mind" - something
slightly more mysterious.
Back to the meat - we have something worth debating I feel.
