So no matter what happens, it has no bearing on the real mind as all we are experiencing is just a manifestation of that mind (if I understand it correct). Therefore whether in this "reality" you live to be a world leader or a serial rapist, is meaningless to the "real mind".
These things don't have objective meaning in a physicalist view, either. Idealism doesn't mean Sky Daddy, it means that the fundamental nature of reality is an expression of universal concepts, rather than concepts being an approximation of some other reality.
I think current physics supports this view, by the way. Try and define, in physical terms, what a photon is, for example. You'll end up with something definable ONLY in conceptual terms, and which cannot be modeled or represented in 3 dimensions or 4 in any meaningful way. Sounds like an idea to me.
