>The fact that i'm conciouss and you're conciouss already presupouse two different activities of consciousness, thus two different light
Wrong, that’s factually incorrect. It would only presuppose that if that were the only possible way to explain the fact of us both being conscious. But, as already pointed out in the previous post and which you apparently failed to understand, that fact can easily and coherently be explained alternatively by attributing apparent differences to differences in the individual mind of each of us and not in consciousness per se, so that in fact does not presuppose any difference in consciousness whatsoever. The simple fact of us both being conscious can be attributed to the same infinite or all-pervading consciousness illuminating or pervading both of our minds, there is no necessity that it would have to be a separate consciousness, and then any further differences in our respective mental experiences over and above the simple quality of being conscious are entirely explainable via reference to differences in each mind and not in consciousness itself.

>the fact that we also think different things don't imply the same source of consciousness
I didnt say that it does, thats a strawman, its not inconsistent with us having the same consciousness though since this can easily be ascribed to one of the differences in one mind from another mind and not in consciousness itself.

>since then i should be able to be conciouss of your thoughts since "my light and hours are the same"
Incorrect, there is no reason whatsoever why that would be the case. Consciousness isn’t aware of mental activity, it provides a light that makes said mental activity possible but without making it an epistemic object of itself, therefore, since consciousness doesn’t make thoughts its objects there is no reason why your consciousness would be aware of other peoples thoughts despite illuminating both their minds and your mind simultaneously.
