Kastrup: Idea of the World

Did you watch the video, Sci? In fact, he does not allow that if the evidence were true, it would negate Analytic Idealism. He allows for the possibility that the personal self has deeper roots which are not perceivable via our "physical" senses, and which could persist (as the individual) after death.

Not sure why you are asking if I watched the video...

Anyway, Kastrup continually challenges Mishlove's presentation of the evidence, though he says Mishlove has read much deeper into the Survival/Psi literature than he has. Kastrup continually posits the Super Psi explanation before noting at the end there can be levels of disassociation.

But throughout the video he talks about the Ground being an Eternal Ur Mind for whom choice, morality, and individuality are illusory. If the Survival evidence is real then none of those seem like they are true. For example we have the NDE life reviews which center upon the moral ramifications of choices made.

I consider myself someone who has a friendly relationship with Kastrup - I've been a reader for some of his work prior to it being published publicly for example. So I don't mean this in a harsh way that is meant to mock him.

I just think if you start with Survival evidence you cannot easily end up with the idea that there is an Ur-Mind that is the actual "person" looking through all the PoVs of illusory individuals.
