PC may or may not be "experiencd? or more acurately, IMO, reflected. Depending on the "purity of the nervous system. The above is quite distinct from saying that Consciousness / Being does not need a nervous system to support it. IT needs no support. However, the localized reflection of IT, does require a nervous system. As asked before, if the reflection / experience of PC at a localized "point" does not require a nervous system, as some continue to claim, then it follows that a rock muct be capable of CC and higher states. I don't buy that. As Dr. Peter was way wrong on the Pundits, I beleive he is way wrong on the above points, -- his view that the localized reflection of Consciousness does not require a nervous system. Of course, anyone can play the Brahman card -- from some views, substantially, there is no nervous system, its only Brahman. That does not negate the above views from a dualistic view.
