Minds Overlap at Deeper Levels

A woman shares an experience from the 1980s when, during a guided visualisation workshop in Boston, she mentally visited her sister’s apartment in Paris. Though her sister wasn’t there, the woman later discovered that her visualisation precisely matched her sister’s actual apartment, down to details like the radiator placement. Rupert explains that the consciousness-only model accounts for such phenomena more effectively than materialism. He suggests that while minds appear separate in waking consciousness, they overlap at deeper levels – particularly minds with close connections like siblings who originate from the same source. The woman adds another example of sensing her brother would have a car accident before it happened. Rupert notes that some minds are more ‘porous’, allowing information from the broader field of consciousness to filter through more easily. When the woman mentions sometimes referring to herself in the third person (‘Ginger is sad’), Rupert suggests this approach has merit but prefers ‘I feel sad’ or even ‘I am sad’, as the truth is concealed in the ‘I am’ – one need only emphasise that aspect rather than the sadness.
