Yeah. Or, well, that's one of the things morphogenetic field theory makes possible, if true.
The basic idea is that all thoughts and knowledge--everything that makes our minds 'us'--is stored not in our bodies, but in an invisible field our bodies access remotely. Uh, like Nishitani-san's remote-controlled car. If the car came around a corner and you couldn't see Nishitani-san, you'd have no idea the car's instructions weren't in the car itself. But instead, we know that the car's just receiving "thoughts" from its unseen brain--in this case, the remote.
Who's to say human minds don't work the same way? We'd have no way of knowing. If you kill a person--if you damage the receiver--it wouldn't be able to pick up those signals anymore. The way we perceive ourselves is basically the same.
But if there are two bodies... who's to say our consciousnesses couldn't access both at the same time?
