I like both of your views
Even after more than 20 years as Buddhist there is still a lot to realize that is unclear still, and understanding Consciousness is actually not as easy as it sounds

Not a single person in a single place said buddhist. Now I chased him to his thread to insult buddhism. No intent, no apology.

Personally i enjoy the concept of self minus the ego.
To me, we are all selves that must contend with ego. Nature must make the distinction of selves and other selves otherwise we would not form into individual bodies.
The more i look at the human form it appears to me to be an artistic conception.

i don't know how that could work. Each of us has a self-awareness, a sense of self, generated by our own individual evolved brain. When we die, our consciousness dies with us. It's the only one we ever possess.
As @9-10ths_Penguin said, it's not a shared thing, otherwise the consequences would be hugely different to what we see. So let me look at that from your point of view and ask:
What experiment can we make to test whether your hypothesis works in reality or not?
What real ─ that is, testable and falsifiable ─ consequences are predicted by what you say?

I don't know if it can be compared directly but I know some monks who were in a science experiment who linked their mind together, so the data is there, But directly linked consciousness I not sure science yet have proved.
My words about one consciousness are from my own experience within meditation (not yet tested for this by science)
When you say 'some monks ... linked their minds together', what did they actually do? What does 'linked their minds' mean? How can the linking of minds be demonstrated?

From what i know they meditate and use a meditation technique to be able to used only mind to speak with each other. They were connected to computers so science could investigate their brain activity.
i will see if i can find the report

I would prefer to say that consciousness is emergent from individual brain activity which arose through the evolution of DNA recorded species on the one hand and on the other is also molded by language and culture. So it is both an individual and a collective phenomenon.

Some deny these details because of the absence of the right to get the right information from previous sources
The invention of variable ideas, as a kind of placebo
also the needs drive us to share cognition in many things of life like agriculture, Trade and Industry
Cultural exchange is beautiful
Industrial exchange is beautiful
A countries selling oil
A countries that sells timber
A country that sells silk

My "study" is how to become spiritual independent from the attachments to a physical objects. But yes some must do those things you mention

thank you my friend
me also doing spiritual practices but in an open field to fly to the truth
And also to know myself and review them from their mistakes and this practice in the field of closed and self sustaining by Blame
The process of trying to revive the conscience of the dead heart
Of course not. The eyeball cannot gaze upon itself, nor can the sun shine upon itself.

That may be so too yes...or from an experience as such.
Let me know how that works out for you.
Grateful for the report, if you can find it. I've never heard of new information being passed in that manner.

Buddha said 'Do not try to do that (Acinteyya). It does not help, only waxes your mind. Just pay attention to the noble Eight-Fold Path', your 'Dhamma'. Let the 'Dhammacakka' move'.Even after more than 20 years as Buddhist there is still a lot to realize that is unclear still, and understanding Consciousness is actually not as easy as it sounds
