It’s a soul.

[Secret Agent Man]

Oboy.

[Magnum44]

Another godless theory. Ok, prove it!

[PGR88]

Its certainly not new

Most recently, Carl Jung gave us the theory of the “collective unconscious.”

*burble burble burble pulls another long hit off the bong*

[kosciusko51]

Yeah, I’d like to see the math on that. 🤣

[Jamestown1630]

There’s nothing ‘new’ about the idea that mind is not in the brain...

[dfwgator]

"This is too much!"

[Regulator]

Fritjof Capra wrote a nice book about this back in the ‘70s.

[DeplorablePaul]

There was a Brit TV movie with a very similar theme. A scientist discovered what happens in the afterlife. When the public found out there were mass suicides in response.

This isn’t new. Quantum computers have been saying this for a little while ever since they started running simulations for the Universe. And it’s basically what the far east religions have taught since forever.

The universe is conscious, and your consciousness is part of it.

[dinodino]

lol

[Democrat = party of treason]

Yea, I don’t think there is anything new about this stupidity, heard it long ago. Idiots.

[Rlsau1]

So, we are all part of “The Force”.

[Skwor]

Exactly, just repackage sci fi metaphysics.

[Carl Vehse]

Given solid-state physicist and Uppsala University Professor Maria Strømme’s lengthy list of previous publications, her publication on human consciousness, “Universal consciousness as foundational field: A theoretical bridge between quantum physics and non-dual philosophy,” appears to be in a completely different ball park… on a different planet.

[StAnDeliver]

Fittingly, the Bishop actually tested out this new theory...

[dfwgator]

Zot!
