Actually after reading more on the topic, this is actually not the 
"conclusion" that the author here states.  But it is one hypothesis that 
unless I misunderstand was posed by Schrodinger himself.   This quote is 
from Shrodinger on Wikipedia:

    * Multiplicity is only apparent, in truth, there is only one mind...
          o "The Oneness of Mind", as translated in Quantum Questions: 
Mystical Writings of the World's Great Physicists (1984) edited by Ken 
Wilber

It may be the case that the author here takes this idea further than 
Schrodinger did.  However, because this particular hypothesis violates the 
Ockham's Razor principle, it gets less attention from mainstream science 
than the other alternatives.
