It is little known that many prominent architects of twentieth-century science have also affirmed a unified, collective aspect of consciousness, in which all individual minds are connected as a single whole. As Erwin Schrödinger put it:

To divide or multiply consciousness is something meaningless. In all the world, there is no kind of framework within which we can find consciousness in the plural; this is simply something we construct because of the spatio-temporal plurality of individuals, but it is a false construction. . . . The category of number, of whole and of parts are then simply not applicable to it.112

. . . The overall number of minds is just one. . . . In truth there is only one mind.113

[I]nconceivable as it seems to ordinary reason, you—and all other conscious beings as such—are all in all. Hence this life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is in a certain sense the whole; only this whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single glance.114
