Dualism or idealist monism as the best model for survival after death data

[Ninshub]

In the Google group thread that Laird posted earlier, he defined Titus's objection to the notion of a unified larger mind thusly:

Titus argues that a single self can by definition, and analytically, only be associated with a single stream of phenomenal experience, and because noetic monism, to which Bernardo's idealism conforms, entails that a single self undergoes multiple streams of phenomenal experience simultaneously, noetic monism is false.

A happy synchronicity... which is admittedly influenced by the youtube's algorithmic calculations of what interests me and the types of videos I listen to recently. This video started playing automatically just now following the last one I've listened to. I was in the other room listening to it while doing a task, and then came to the computer to see the title.

"How Can Consciousness Have Multiple Experiences at Once".



The audience member who is questioning Rupert Spira is arguing, in his own experience, from the standpoint of Titus's point of view. Rupert brings some arguments to consider whether an individual mind can have two different phenomenal experiences simultaneously. E.g. the example of a pianist playing two melodies simultaneously, or how I am aware simultaneously of both my visual and my auditory experiences.

(I've just started listening to it. I recognize Laird's objection goes further into how can a unified mind hold "conflicting" perspectives simultaneously.)
