The version of Nonduality that I have learned from the east where it is called Advaita says that only consciousness is conscious and all bodies/mind running around "derive" (not sure if that is the right word) consciousness from it or in other words ego consciousness.
I am not saying that Steve's version of SR is wrong. In the end its a belief system and you should follow what makes sense. However saying that only your version is the truth and everything else is false can also be a delusion. |
I could be completely wrong, but Steve has said on multiple occasions that the belief that you are the only person walking around and everybody else is just a bunch of mindless robots is not the version of subjective reality he subscribes to. That is called solipsism. Max's version of subjective reality is closer to Steve's, where he identifies with consciousness itself apart from the body POV.
