I experience it test

I experience it test is simply a test that says that if I expereince a consciousness then I have conscious existence (I am alive) produced by this consciousness. If you continue to experience consciousness then it is a case of survival for you. If you experience consciousness after you have died then it is a case of life after death for you. If you can at least periodically experience consciousness indefinitely into the future then you have a case of immortality. For any conscious body that you do not experience, the consciousness that it produces is not a case of survival, life after death, or immortality for you. It does not matter what other conditions are met such as the same body, same soul, or same matter. You experiencing consciousness is the only necessary factor. It however happens that for you to experience a consciousness it first has to be produced through one of a number of specific different structures and functionings of a material body.
The I experience it test is not a test to see if you experience a different consciousness from your present conscious perspective, because you will not experience what you did or will do, you only experience what you do experience at this moment. But you did experience the consciousness that you experienced in the past and probably will experience the consciousness that your body will produce in the future. But only if your body produced the correct structures and functionings. If the structure and functioning of the brain in your body is changed enough then it will actually produce someone else's consciousness and consequently will not be producing a consciousness that you will expereince so it will fail the ixperiencit test ( pronounced I experience it test) for you, but will pass the ixperiencit test for someone else.
