This is an interesting article from Scientific American. There is proof that Multiple Personality Disorder is real. Brainwave studies show parts of the brain turning on and off as personalities are being switched. One patient had a personality who was blind (even though the patient wasn't). Brainwave analysis showed the visual centers of the patient's brain turning off when that personality was present. For a control group, actors were used. Their brain functions were different from the people with MPD.
Now in Philosophy, there is the so-called Hard Problem. How can matter, which is unconscious, generate consciousness? One solution is Idealism, which postulates that there is one big Consciousness in the Universe. The problem with that is: How do we explain all those little consciousnesses that we see around us?
Enter Multiple Personality Disorder. The Universe consists of one Consciousness with Multiple Personality Disorder!
Here is the link to the article.
"Could Multiple Personality Disorder Explain Life, the Universe and Everything?
A new paper argues the condition now known as “dissociative identity disorder” might help us understand the fundamental nature of reality"

I think it could at the very least explain what's been going on with FACTS and why there is so little interest in it. People do have a way of recognizing weirdness.

And that makes you think I love and adore You? Really? What males have you say that about? Or it it only because I am female? You disgust me, as I've always know you are an misogynist. Go F yourself!

I haven't read the article yet, but as an initial response, No. Consciousness is an emergent property which appears as nervous systems become sufficiently complex. No universal consciousness needed. Occam's Razor

I agree with raybar. It's the same way that "life" comes from various dead chemicals. Put together the right combination, and "It's alive!". No magic required. 8->
