We all believe we are conscious and others are aware like us. But there is no scientific, empirical proof of this. You can not isolate a conscious mind from its body and test it empirically. It is always associated with an animal body and thus subject to the interpretation that consciousness is an emergent property of the activity of the animal brain. As such an emergent property this consciousness has no reality in the sense it actually exists as something. To believe it does have reality requires FAITH. Don't you believe you, the aware you, is a reality, is really something? Don't you have FAITH?
