Here's an interesting idea:
Thoughts actually exist in a vast network of consciousness. The nodes of this network correspond to individual brains. The mapping is pretty consistent, but occasionally the network gets disturbed or individual thoughts become shared by several nodes at once.
There is no "reality" as we understand it to be; just a conceptual network of consciousness nodes that is unimaginably large in extant and complexity. This network creates the illusion of reality as the easiest way to "interact" or exchange information.
Perhaps it is even a multi-dimensional structure.
Amit Goswamy is a "radical physicist" that maintains there is no reality only consciousness.
Perhaps, our own minds are point sources of conscious activity, like mini "white holes" that bring the universe into existence in a collective "symphony" of continual effort.

A friend says this is like Jung's "collective unconscious" and I agree that he is probably correct.
ReplyDeleteTo me however, Jung's "collective unconscious" just seems like a big amorphous indistinct blob that surrounds everything. This network, in contrast, appears to be a cool high-tech functionality diagram that gives us the illusion of understanding. If we just knew how it was all "wired up" then the logic would be obvious.
