the total number of minds in the universe is 0ne

You think of yourself as a citizen of the universe. You think you belong to this world of dust and matter. 

Out of this dust you have created a personal image, and have forgotten about the essence of your true origin.

The total number of minds in the universe is one. In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings. What seems to be a plurality is merely a series of different aspects of this One, produced by a deception.

Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world.


—Erwin Schrödinger, 1887 - 1961
