"There exists a mountain of circumstantial evidence that consciousness survives bodily death. This is the kind of evidence that would stand up in a court of law.

Perhaps when we discover what consciousness is we will be on the road to providing absolute scientific evidence that there is life after death."

-- Jean Ritchie
