What the fuck does this even mean?
 
No, it's too broad of a statement, on what basis are you going off of? Religious standpoint? Are you talking about something like Astral Projection? OBEs and/or NDEs?

when you take enough shrooms sure
That shit just feels like your body is a wave, you don't see or experience anything outside of your body, it more or less just feels like some sort of delirium and you're not fully in control

Depends on what your asking.

I believe the human consciousness could exist if your brain/nervous system is somehow intact and suspended outside your body, interpreting fake impulses.

If you are referring to consciousness without a brain, then I don't think that's possible, unless the brain and consciousness are two separate things, similar to the idea of a soul.

You mean consciousness* but I get what you're saying. But however you're thinking in the physical, he might mean a more broader sense of definition (which again I find very hard to properly define) as in metaphysical or maybe mental (as in psychedelics, which is easier to define and thus probably a lot less plausible then what I am trying to explain here on out). More of a concept like "I can fully interpret that, while it may not be physically happening, as in this is not a sensation I recognize my body is perceiving, my consciousness is elsewhere outside of my body as I cannot feel and operate myself or any physical form I previously presided in"

It does depend on if you believe concepts of spiritual/metaphysical reality are plausible, though

I wouldn't say room temp iq, at the very least the brain is a gateway for your consciousness.

We also can't define a consciousness(physically, not as a concept), nor have we fully mapped each individual brain neuron of a person(and we probably wont).

Yeah, very wide spectrum question. (jfl at my spelling :feelswhy:)

I think it's an interesting one though, due to it being open-ended
