How could consciousness exist when its no longer connected to a living body?
Well, for one thing, its imperative to believe that consciousness couldn't exist before a person is born, because there are too many implications. It's also important to believe that consciousness can't exist after the body dies, that makes it easier to believe that consciousness is merely a temporary illusion-airy by-product of a mysterious universe.

In other words, don't think & ask too many questions about reality.

Of course if its real, then the NDE could be indicative of a larger multilevel cosmic reality. VR technology and the simulation hypothesis might be like modern analogies to the big picture.
