| A case for dualism -

It seems that a lot of the evidence supporting dualism is ancedotal. Some are even mildly convincing. For example, people who die and are brought back to life, often tell similar stories about floating above their bodies, watching the doctors attempt to revive them, then going down a long dark tunnel, viewing memories of their life, and meeting loved ones who had passed on before. They are sometimes told by their loved ones that their time has not yet come and to go back to their physical bodies to continue their life.
There are books writing on past life regression, out-of-body travels, remote viewing. It seems there was a group of remote viewers working for the U.S. department of defense at one time to obtain information remotely. There are a series of Seth books where Jane Roberts goes into a trance and channels a spirit entity that talks about how the soul travels to the afterlife after death. The paranormal section of book stores are quite large.
Much of this can and should be scientifically dismissed. But all? Not sure. If any one of these areas have any validity it should be integrated with and explained by the Theory of Everything.
