Not one single thing in the human consciousness is shared by all. Not one single thing.
The brain is now being mapped with neuroscience. We share locations for specific functions. Plus, the structures of these functions are shaped similarly. Since the brain creates consciousness, I would say the locations of these functions is one thing shared by humans. Each function happening in our brains that we are not aware of affects our consciousness. We also share the same neurotransmitters. Dopamine and serotonin both produce .

But the real world action of these mechanisms, in people, happens completely differently in each individual. The similarities are only visible when we step back and generalize.

What are your premises to the conclusion that, "Not one single thing in the human consciousness is shared by all"?

Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, average ocean temp changes, average surafce temp changes, average ocean salinity ect ect. Things that according to probability shouldn't happen, but do.
Of course not. Hurricanes and Tornadoes are things which bring atmospheric pressures into balance. Earthquakes bring the tension of several tectonic plates back to balance. The rest the same... According to probability, they are more than likely to happen.

1. Every single person has a brain that is different from every other person. 2. Every person receives sensory input through their own senses, to the information received by each individual is different. 3. There is no evidence of a non-physical or spiritual substance that exists that is identical in every single person.
I can probably think of more, but basically we've all got our own heads.

1. Every single person does have a brain though. 2. The steps that are taken to process the information are the same, unless something went wrong with your development or you received brain damage. An example would be memory. Memory is created by the same function in every individual. People who have damage to this function have trouble or cannot store memory. 3. There is physical evidence of a mixed substance that creates consciousness. It is called a neuron and we all share them. We also share them with other animals.

Wrong. They are highly unlikely to happen versus one not happening at all for every second that passes. However probability is not determined that is why it's probability... and is why tornadoes, hurricanes ect do happen because on a long enough time frame unlikely things do happen.
I guess whether they provide balence depends on what point of view you have. Over a short period of time or over a long period of time.

They have no other possibility than to happen, thats why they happen. Probability = 1
