"The mental universe exists in mind but not in your personal mind alone. Instead, it is a transpersonal field of mentation that presents itself to us as physicality—with its concreteness, solidity and definiteness—once our personal mental processes interact with it through observation."
If that is the case, then why do we need material brains to think?
This is just Platonism dressed up in different language.
- drdeca 8y agoTo me it sounded like George Berkeley's Idealism. It even says "that the universe is a mental construct displayed on the screen of perception" which sounds quite like how I've heard Berkeley's Idealism described, with God presenting us with the-world-as-our-experiences-of-it .
- woodandsteel 8y agoI agree, you could certainly say it sounds like Berkeley. What Berkeley and Platonism have in common is they are metaphysical idealisms.
