I simply presented an open door into which one can explore. It is obvious that there is nonexistent conclusive evidence in any direction. You are just presenting the other side of the door and also have not articulated any gleaning value to indicate any contrary evidence. However, the original poster ,Jodie, asserts all thought and consciousness dies with the death of the physical mind linking that assertion to that of a physical entity. Thought, as I see it, is not physical or tangible though it is the subject of multiple scientific experiments. As it stands I don't think there is any "real" evidence as to the nature of thought.
