Sorry that I failed to see your post.
Is the entire Universe an illusion of consciousness ?
"Is all that we see, and seem, but a dream within a dream?" Ed A. Poe
I accepted it on a
prima facie and intuitive basis.
Its
not as if I were alleging
that I had an out-of-body experience while asleep, possibly dreaming.
During most of my out-of-body experiences, I was actively engaged
in conversation, taking testimony from witnesses in court,
or conversing with others elsewhere.
How do u know that u r alive now,
as distinct from your mind playing tricks on u ?
I relied on my observation of the world from 2 different angles,
being in 2 places at once. Some out-of-body experiences
have allegedly been proven by knowledge of remote events.
Some people have been
disinherited
in retaliation for a relative bad-mouthing a testator in the hospital,
while he was in a state of human death, during which his consciousness
has (discarnate) seen n heard the defamation.
After returning to human life, decedent arose & betook himself
to the office of his estate lawyer n drew a new will. There was no denying
the denunciation of (temporary) decedent, because the other relatives were witnesses.
In a week, I 'm going to California for a convention
www.IANDS.org
of folks whose human bodies died (molted off) in hospitals
and of medical doctors who have studied temporary death
of the human body and written about it. Some of those
medical doctors have had their own death experiences.

"Argument is the piecing together of evidentiary fact
in combination with the ordinary rules of logic and rhetoric."
There is nothing rong with argument.
