Cell Memories (Identity)

Dhw:[...] I am asking what evidence there is from NDEs, transplant memories and species consciousness (which by definition can't be universal) that there is a single UNIVERSAL consciousness.-DAVID: That conclusion of mine comes from 30 years of study that concludes God is a universal consciousness. What you have listed is a small part of the consideration of the various facts and clues.-Agreed. And in turn you appear to agree that NDEs, transplant memories and species consciousness provide no evidence of a universal consciousness. Still pursuing the panpsychist line, let me ask you why you think the power that has created the universe and us is a single mind. Monotheistic religions insist that it is, by anthropomorphizing this power, but you have turned your back on these religions, so I wonder why you always talk of your God in such terms. You even try to read its singular intentions (its aim was to produce humans).
 
If NDEs, transplant memories, and other psychic experiences relating to communication with the dead are to be trusted, we know only of individual consciousnesses, just as we do on Earth. Lots of people believe in multiple "gods". It seems that your 30 years of study have led you to the conclusion that life is the product of design, which I can understand. But why one "designer", one "god", one "consciousness"?
