What an amazing Meeting of the Minds last night! Robert Waggoner @dreambob shared a bunch of fascinating lucid dreams with us--including some important precognitive ones that have happened since his last book came out. Thanks for joining us, Robert!

Really looking forward to this conversation with Robert Waggoner @dreambob about all things lucid dreaming! He's had some amazing experiences and has great perspective to share.

@kritischet @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes That’s just begging the question—i.e., assuming what you’re setting out to prove!

@SharonRawlette @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes Because a self cannot be r more than one self at the same time and still remain itself, whereas it can have different experiences at different times and remain itself.

Nice piece from @heddamorch on the idea we're all really the same person. She does say "There is no telepathy or mind-reading," but unclear if that's her own belief or just a rhetorical strategy. @TelepathyTapes def puts a whole new spin on mind sharing! nautil.us/is-everyone-th…

@kritischet @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes But if I can experience different things at different times and still be the same experiencer, why can't I be experiencing different things at the same time, as the same experiencer? I think part of Morch's point is that, if the 1st of these things makes sense, so does the 2nd.

@SharonRawlette @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes Also known as synchronic identity in philosophy.

@kritischet @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes Then how can you today be the same experient as you tomorrow, when your experiences are different?

@SharonRawlette @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes Sorry but that is not my point. My point is that two selfs with different experiences can't be the same self (experient). To be the same someone your experience needs to be identical.

@kritischet @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes I actually think both views are correct, in slightly different ways. Any two experiences that differ even slightly are clearly not the SAME experience, but the quality of BEING AN EXPERIENCE is the same between them. There is sameness and difference, in a huge range of degrees.

@SharonRawlette @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes Here is my short paper against such noetic monism. titusrivas.nl/public/article…

@heddamorch @TelepathyTapes I suspected that, being a philosopher, you probably had a more nuanced stance—but there’s only ever so much nuance one can squeeze into a single article!

Thank you! In the original draft I included "or even if there is [telepathy], as some hold, this is not something done by everyone all the time". So even if though I'm somewhat of a skeptic myself I did not mean (or need, for the purposes of raising the problem) to take a stance against it.

@RinginIsab89027 @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes Agreed. That’s the way I tend to think about it, too! We’re all ultimately the same mind, but each manifestation of that mind is more similar to some of the other manifestations than it is to others.

@SharonRawlette @heddamorch @TelepathyTapes It's possible we are both individuals and the same person (the I AM) simultaneously. We can all be unique threads of an eternal cloth. There's really nothing to prevent that except the limitations we've been trained to believe in.

Want to know more about using lucid dreaming to cultivate telepathy, precognition, and after-death communication? Join me at @mindmeaninginst's April Meeting of the Minds to chat with lucid dreaming expert Robert Waggoner @dreambob! mindmeaninginstitute.com/events/

Two tiger cubs were rescued and raised in captivity before being released 100 miles apart. Over a year later, the male traveled 120 miles in an almost straight line to meet the female. The NYTimes doesn’t even try to explain how he found her. Hm… nytimes.com/2024/12/11/sci…

The @TelepathyTapes is so popular that the @mindmeaninginst Meeting of the Minds event I'm hosting with researcher @dianehennacy and podcast creator @KyDickens sold out before I was even able to post about it on X! So excited for the attention this phenomenal podcast is getting!

Thanks to all of you who've been spreading the word about MMI's Meeting of the Minds conversation series, our event with @lesliekean on Dec. 16 is now sold out! We're looking forward to a great conversation next Monday night! mindmeaninginstitute.com/events/
