"Well, there are many instances of consciousness surviving without a body. There are many narratives of consciousness being able to take over inanimate forms or at least permeate them with perception."

What!? Just run that past me again, Amos!

I'm trying to think of an 'instance' of "consciousness surviving without a body." ... Nope, can't come up with a single one.

So, let's try "narratives of consciousness being able to take over inanimate forms ..."? According to you there are "many" - so you should be able to supply me with several examples ... ?

Help!
