What Santosh is trying to say with his excessive
throat-clearing, is that one is either a Monist or a
Dualist. Those interested in this topic, can google
Monism and Dualism, suffice it to say Dualists believe
that a sense of self exists outside of the body.
I'd be very interested in knowing what precise
scientific evidence exists that discredits Dualism
without a shadow of doubt. The fact is, man throughout
the ages has been conscious of a sense of self
distinct from his physical being. This sense of self
manifests very early and can be noticed in children
even as young as two.
Until, it is decidedly proven one way or another,
despite Santosh's enthusiasm, Monism remains an
opinion just as Dualism does.
