Many people arrive at the same idea/perception, be it through meditation and/or with the help of psychedelics.
I think it was Terrence McKenna who described the brain as an antenna that tunes in to a certain band of the universal consciousness, and that's what we consider to be the thoughts of an individual.
More or less same idea, slightly different way of phrasing it.
I believe some buddhist practitioners also have a similar way of thinking.
I've wondered about this and whether it might someday be testable. One thing I keep coming back to is the brain's apparent search power: you see a 5s video clip and can recall the show. This means your brain can trawl all your memories of all the movies and shows that you've ever seen, without generating a fraction of the heat energy of search done in a computer. It's pretty weird to think our brains can actually do this without help...
