Thank you all for your kind comments. You have enboldened me to continue along this line of thought. The more I think about it, the more I become convinced that we actually partake of Mind, rather than produce individual minds. This would account for Jung's collective unconscious and the universals with regard to language. Mathematics is a way of describing mind itself because it describes and reveals pattern. I think the differences between our minds can be explained by the differences in personality, temperment and will rather than completely different little mind bubbles cause by our genes. It's possible, why not?
