In his article, Bogen supports Wigan's theory that individuals possess two distinct minds within one identity. This concept challenges the common perception held by many, especially in Western culture, that we are fundamentally singular beings. The notion of being "One" is deeply ingrained in our subjective experience, making it difficult to accept the idea of a dual mind. Bogen stresses the importance of addressing this resistance to the duality concept while acknowledging the complexity of the discussion surrounding it.
The idea of dual minds raises significant questions about consciousness and identity. While many embrace the feeling of oneness, Bogen argues that acknowledging the existence of multiple aspects within ourselves could provide valuable insights into human behavior and psychology. This exploration of the self could help to reconcile our internal conflicts and lead to a deeper understanding of human nature, as suggested by Dick in "A Scanner Darkly."
