I'm sure that you're already aware of it, but I'll try to give you my take on it, as best I can. But as I said, it's not as simple as the first two are, so it may require a deeper dive into the 'woo'. But so long as you're open minded we can give it a go.
Up until now we've been considering the possibility that the source of reality is a quantum field, and within that we have two options.
Option #1 is that that quantum field is just a field.
Option #2 is that that field is actually the quintessence of a mind.
Option #3 is where it starts to get tricky, because in Option #3 that field is just an illusion, and the mind, be it a collective mind, or an individual mind is either the sole source of reality, or the nexus around which reality forms. There are many variations on this theme, but
@SelfSim comes to mind, if I understand his argument correctly. In general they're referred to as mind dependent realities.
To the best of my understanding the mind in these scenarios begins with the present, and from that creates the past, the future, and the source. And by 'source' I mean the hierarchical first cause. Think of everything around you as being made of matter, which is made of molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of particles, which arise out of that quantum field. So while the Big Bang might represent the mind's concept of a temporal first cause, the quantum field represents the mind's concept of a hierarchical first cause. But they're both part of an illusion created by the mind.
An easy way to understand this is to envision an AI, be it a Chatbot, or an AI Art Generator. All that you have to do is to give it the essence of what you want and it'll create either a story or a work of art that may be practically indistinguishable from something that actually exists. Now imagine that that's what the mind does, it creates reality. And to the best of its ability it creates everything back to and including that temporal and hierarchical first cause. It's the mind attempting to create a coherent context for its own existence. It's what you might expect to get if you had an AI that was powerful enough to create, and place itself at the center of, a simulated reality.
That is in essence what Option #3 is... a mind dependent reality. I must admit that I'm kinda partial to the idea, but I must also admit that I have some unanswered questions. For example, AI's need to be trained on something. They don't create things out of whole clothe. But what if they could? What if all they had was the conscious awareness that 'I Am"? Could everything else flow from that one simple realization?
Anyway, maybe it would've been better if I hadn't mentioned Option #3. But then again that may be part of the problem with people, they get fixated on one particular idea, and the only way for them to engage with any opposing ideas is in direct conflict with those who hold them. That '
resolution through conflict' may be a holdover of our past, but it's certainly one that we should try to overcome.
