Premise is excellent. But too much slicing and dicing. How about this? Think of the tides responding to the pull of the moon's gravity. Or consider a chemical reaction between 2 substances. There can be no reactions without perceptions. Leaves turn toward the sun. They grow when the tree has enough nutrients and water. I love this part "There was no sudden cut in evolution where some shimmer of mind mysteriously emerged from some form of matter – mind was always part of matter, evolution proceeding degree by degree in the complexity of mind matter. " Beautiful concept. Also, when we receive other people's emotions and thoughts through psi experiences, that is experiencing emotions outside ourselves. Need I say more?
