Separation Despite Shared Consciousness

How can one reconcile the apparent privacy of individual experience with the understanding that consciousness itself is shared and unlimited? Rupert says: ‘Because you cannot know what another person is experiencing, you presume therefore that the awareness with which you know your experience and the awareness with which they know their experience must be separate. You’re conflating the contents of awareness with awareness itself, and you presume that awareness must share the limitations that your experience shares. But we don’t realise the extent to which we’ve been conditioned. We presume that the belief that our awareness is temporary, finite, and private. But it is our experience that awareness is unlimited.’
