Yes. In most of my posts on this, I have said this is a dualistic view-- the view that most if not all of the discussion on this topic has assumed. Anyone at anytime can play the Brahman card and say, "Its all consciousness". Then there is no nervous system (of substance) and no discussion. But all elements of the discussion point to dualistic assumptions. Thus a response from that view.
