I'm familiar with the concept you're using. Split brain studies bring this idea to the foreground, too, where people with severe epilepsy had their corpus collasum severed, and scientist were able to speak to each hemisphere independently, and discovered what appeared to be two separate, diverse personalities.

Each brain part has been likened to a module, and all these modules communicate. Jung might reflect this as battle of archetypes. Eric Milton, my second favorite therapist and probably one of the best hypnotists ever, suggests we are driven by subconscious like 90 percent of the time. I know a good deal about hypnosis. And I have witness patients suffering from trauma experience fight or flight mode, where their brain hijacks them and it takes a moment to bring them back...

Knowing all that, Understanding the binding process happens before the conscious experience of a thing, which you can easily demonstrate to yourself, (Like light arrives at your eyes before sound, but the lips talking aren't out of sync, and touching your nose with tip of index, the signal from finger to brain is longer than the distance from nose tip to brain, but you feel it instantly...) still doesn't change the fact my experiences feels like 'real' time.

Consciousness is weird. The information above is disconcerting in way, interesting in ways, and maybe all of us are subject to bias errors. Or maybe we still don't know enough. The majority of scientist say we are the brain, and when that quits we quit. There are a few scientist point out that truth may be a correlation, not necessarily a cause and effect. Of course, these are the consciousness first camp people. There are a sufficient number of NDE experiences that seem to defy the brain is everything camp. Dying brain, lack of oxygen, malfunctioning systems as it shuts down just doesn't explain why the reported conscious experience is not only 'realer than real,' but has a continuity to it that doesn't make sense. Dreams are not as vivid as these experiences. Drug or illness related hallucinations don't seem to be as consistent in continuity of narrative as NDE. And then you have terminal lucidity phenomena, where people with brains that have been in coma or completely disrupted by Alzheimer's suddenly sit up and hold conversations with their memory and awareness fully intact, and then they die.

Am I, or the billions of others, delusional for holding on to a ounce of spirituality and the idea that there might be more? I hope not. I do know science. Are there crazy spiritual people? Yeah. Hell, there are crazy scientists. We all have bias, even science. I have not heard of any credible scientist going on record for wanting information about UFO (UAP) even after the Pentagon said, "yeah, this is a real phenomena and we don't know what it is..." That interests me. I am not saying it's a conspiracy that scientist don't want to express interest, as they may be worried about funding and such, and credibility issues, and so they're hitting social fact.

But here is another social fact- humans are biased towards their paradigm, and I submit to you we are where Galileo once stood, on the verge of a new paradigm, and there is more to our story than anyone ever suspected and it will be the bold few that shed ignorance and examine these things we ignored that bring us to a new understanding. It may even take awhile to get everyone on board. There are still flat earthers. That's weird to me, but that's another whole rant arch... haha.
