>>11272950Imagine the wiring connecting the 2 halves of your brain was split and each hemisphere was conscious on its own. Imagine further that we could do a brain transplant on one hemisphere in a different body.
These would be two consciousnesses that feel like they are different people, but really come from the same source.
Does this help?
Maybe a different analogy:
Imagine you were the sole actor in a movie, you are the protagonist and the antagonist.
Now, in order to properly play the role you need to completely believe you are that character and forget everything else.
The end product would be a movie where all the "different characters" are convinced they aren't the same person but deep down they are.
