The new agers have touted this line for a long time, and through DMT experiences showing people connected with one another they feel that strengthens their beliefs. The famous line by bill hicks "we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively" is often parroted by believers of this idea and now we have the Millennium Simulation Project showing the universe as one giant neural network, lending credence to the idea that maybe we're all part of one mind.
But really, from the scientific point of view - is it true? I find it interesting how when skeptics of the scientific method, believing it to be "too rigid and unimaginative", declare all of their little sayings about consciousness, the mind, etc as "fact."
Personally, I find just a grandiose claim about the universe and all conscious creatures being one a little hard to digest. Why, simply because the scope is too large to making such a broad, sweeping claim. Would anyone like to offer their views on the subject?
