LOL. OK way OT now.. (Richmond I have a long way to go to catch up to you on
OT…) the so-called "100% empirical" is such a bogus idea in the first place, as
many a modern brain scientist will tell you. And we know some of the top
"empirically trained" guys. What measurements, by whom and under what
circumstances?
As for "inner bodies" well, seen by many though no more measureable to the
limited mind than are the photons from the sun that are streaming through us
all at this very moment. Streaming photons are also "based on belief" -- a
cultural consensus surrounding nuclear physics and their choice of
instrumentation to "visualize" a phenomena that is in fact "invisible" and
onlyl verifiable by inference. As much an illusion as American Exceptionalism
(we are actually a 2nd tier nation slipping into 3rd tier territory.) But you
"believe" what the nuclear physicists actually tell us about sub-atomic
particle motion. Therein lies the slippery slope of the line between "100
empirical" vs "belief" Their theories can (and do and have) changed over
time. Some would think that what one imagines is "metaphysical," perhaps, but
nevertheless just as "real" It's no less real than the butter on your toast.
FYI: the butter on your toast is a hologram painted on your brain by your 5
senses. What you imagine is just another painting, by a different painter….way
OT now… I better stop there. I'm only very thankful that what Mark
Waddinginton "imagines" does indeed enter the empirical realm, eventually.

We can observe that there is a difference between a living person and as
dead body. No one has discovered the exact mechanism that distinguishes
the two. But we all see it, even if we have different names for it.
