"The reason why our
sentient, percipient and thinking ego is met nowhere within our scientific
world picture can easily be indicated in seven words: because it is itself that
world picture. It is identical with the whole and therefore cannot be contained
in it as a part of it. But, of course, here we knock against the arithmetical
paradox; there appears to be a great multitude of these conscious egos, the
world is however only one.


There is obviously only
one alternative, namely the unification of minds or consciousnesses, Their
multiplicity is only apparent, in truth there is only one mind. This is the
doctrine of the Upanishads.


The doctrine of
identity can claim that it is clinched by the empirical fact that consciousness
is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of
us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of
circumstantial evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world.


Mind is by its very
nature a singulare tantum. I should say: the over-all number of minds is just
one. I venture to call it indesctructible since it has a peculiar time-table,
namely mind is always now. There is really no before and after for mind. There
is only now that includes memories and expectations. But I grant that our
language is not adequate to express this, and I also grant, should anyone
wish to state it, that I am now talking religion, not science – a
religion, however not opposed to science, but supported by what disinterested
scientific research has brought to the fore." 


Erwin Schrödinger, in Mind
and Matter, ch. 4, Oneness of Mind
