The only empirical reality is phenomenal consciousness, and hence the empirical brain is an intersubjective phenomenon; to reduce phenomenal consciousness to a phenomenon of consciousness is an absurd recursion, whereas to reduce phenomenal consciousness to the imaginary “physical brain” is to reduce it to a metaphysical myth invented by those who don’t understand that phenomenal consciousness is constituted by transcendental consciousness rooted in transcendent consciousness-in-itself. Consciousness is all there is, whereas the empirical brain is merely an intersubjective phenomenal representation-interface of one’s transcendental subjectivity.

“There is overwhelming evidence that consciousness is not the product of the human brain, but a basic aspect of existence; the brain mediates consciousness, but does not generate it.” — Stanislav Grof

To see the brain this way is another mistake — the mistake of dualism.
