Greatly appreciate these comments and musings. Much to consider here. The question of one mind or multiple minds is a big one. From what I’ve little I’ve seen the views differ, such as philosopher John Leslie’s idea of everything existing in the mind of God. Bernardo Kastrup sees it as one mind but what he calls the “egoic minds,” that is our individual minds, are ripples or disturbances in the single flow of mind. But so are individual experiences. I’m working through this for myself and would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Time and space, as you mention, are also far different than we think. It’s just so hard to get one’s mind around concepts that differ from our concept of time (so everything doesn’t happen at once) and space (so everything doesn’t happen in the same place). What interests me is we have always struggled with ideas of eternity and/or timelessness, which have been seen as airy fairy non-real spiritual or religious ideas. Now we find the same issues in the deepest levels of understanding matter and forces.

Hoping to hear more from you on these big questions as I keep working my way through them.
