Let us take the example of water. At the microscopic level H2O molecules are randomnly bumping into each other. Fluidity of
water -an emergent property- Macroscopic state. Emergence implies the sum of
interactions of constituents is greater than their parts and produces an entity
with macroscopic properties different from microscopic properties.
But then is the
above statement true. We feel water to flow because when our touch
receptors touch water, there is a feeling of continuity/flow. When we see water
the resolution of our eye (human eye) sees a huge bunch of something
transparent moving continuously. But an advanced camera (not yet
developed)will see/observe a bunch of molecules
randomly being bonded or unbonded.
So what we
observe/see/feel/ the emergent property is the function of the resolution of
the observer-not a fundamental property of what is being observed.
Applying the
same principle, mind is not an emergent property but is a product of what
observes it -like a collapsable wave function.
Depending on
the resolution ultimately all the electrochemical activity in the brain is some
sort of combination of entangled energy field. And thus the parallel universe /everett many
worlds theory makes sense.
But then the
individual brain is interacting at the macroscopic level with so many other
aware beings and non living things .
So are pansychism ( everywhereness), advaita (non dualness) vedanta, buddhism (nothingness) talking about a unifying ontology. Is the unifying ontology described in these systems of thought, same epistemiologically as a unified field comprising of entangled energy fields at rest or equilibrium, which when active or vibrates produces the phenomenal world.

How can we know this ? Is it possible through advanced meditative techniques, in the brain , arrangement of atoms is altered so that the wavefunction is no longer collapsed, there is no observer (i.e.no selfhood, i cannot perceive myself), and there is resonance between entangled energy fields between multiple parallel universes to create a continuum of underlying energy fields. Under these conditions the physical/phenomenal body no longer remains. In wisdom traditions they say the observer, the process of observation and the object of observation are unified.
In simple words in advanced/deep meditators brain state is altered and mutiple parallel universes are observable because an altered state of brain produces altered sensory capabilities.
