@Someone here I promise you I am not annoyed. I feel like I know you already because you are posting about this topic a lot. So maybe put some flower or sunset on your avatar lol, since you are not a guest anymore. Probably I sound rude, sorry if I am, I know I can be...I am just trying to tell you that by discussing solipsism we are not going anywhere, trust me I am in this game for four years. No results so far. Am I enlightened? No! I had some glimpses here and there but I am not even close, intellectually I got it, but not via direct experience. Your questions resemble mine, therefore I’ve quoted you in this topic. But what do you really want, like truly from all your heart? Just having a conversation with other people or receive some experience? We can talk all day long here, but deep inside you won’t be satisfied. Personally, I am not. Even to a point that I wanted to drop all of this, forum, books, meditation and not to think about it for a while, get back to amusement park. But some call within me triggers this curiosity over and over again. So I am patiently waiting for a door to be opened, or at least to see it through the slit. Who knows maybe I will win the lottery ( here I mean I will get some deep experience of oneness) or go to a ceremony to try a psychedelic. But I know for sure it will happen one day! I just don’t know when.

@mandyjw Thank you, dear ??I will research Hick’s work. If I am totally honest, I am still having fun as it is scary to go deeper. I worry about my family, I have attachments. Also I am scared to loose my sanity.

We’ve already discussed this... Leo and other people have already answered your question that there is only one way to discover.

My problem is that before I let go I need to understand why things happen to me, this way I learn.

Nah, I do not think so, I am not a hardcore practitioner to have it. Who knows maybe the energy tries to balance itself since was in a low key mode. It comes spontaneously, yesterday came at 7 pm when driving back home. Sex? Something I want to achieve will never satisfy me with physical orgasm. Actually, when I am in passion or lust, it is sucks because at this time I expect sex to resolve my mental craving and think it will, but at the end you have an orgasm and feel unsatisfied mentally. On the level of body orgasm is great, can be very strong. On the level of "soul" (just using this word to describe inner perception) there is like a black whole. Nobody will never share your inner experience, never! with regards, even when sharing your bodies, read below, I love this narrative by Huxley: “We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies—all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.” ― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception

Thank you for the feedback, actually doing an exercise every day by letting go, reading Sedona Method.

Trying to achieve my dreams now, working on my second bachelor's, planning to start master's in September. Gosh, my crazy ego wants some approval for sure. But at the end, when thinking about it, who the hell cares about my career, degree, social status if other people are just the projection of my mind. I am not going to give up because "there is no other game in town" Lately, it has hit me that time is so fast and I will not have enough of it to enjoy my youth years. P.S. Learned how to make a new salad, ordered me an elliptical to exercise, since not sure if Y will be working in fall, working on my dream board. Higher consciousnesses people, hah? - this is the hardest challenge. Here in my city every one goes to the Church of Christ, three times a week. This forum is all I have.

@dimitri OR maybe I just need to let go of everything...and see what happens

@Inliytened1 I was joking...for the ego is suck since there is no one to cling to

@Preetom Please copy and paste it in the neighboring thread. "Are other conscious?" Just in case. @Someone here I like the way Preetom put it, maybe it'll help.

@dimitri LOL Yep.

Eureka! This makes absolute sense because everything is singularity, there can not be more than one, otherwise it will contradict the notion of singularity.

It sucks because nobody will cry on my funeral, and I would not have any funeral in the first place

wow, your pic is cooler than mine

@Someone here first of, from my focal point or POV you are the agent of my reality, I don’t need to prove you anything because I am the protagonists. This is so funny. Second of all, when I’ll get truly awaken , this would be probably silly and funny at the same time. I am not there yet. From your POV I am not real, I don’t exist, however when you realize that you don’t exist either this question will exhaust itself. Think about it for a while, my existence (For your POV) is predicated on your own existence. you can only verify it when enlightened, this is the only way out.

There is a way...ofc....it is exactly what we are doing here.

"Probabilities that exist in zero-dimensional space without time!"

@SamueLSD "Reality as we know it does not exist. And if it had any sort of existence, it would be an endless sea of static, of information in which all probabilities exist." Could be represented or visualized as following:

@dimitri Well, I think I am going to start a new thread. I have this inexplicable energy level like I am on a drug. This is the coolest thing I've ever felt in my life. Wow...very similar to that state when you are in love. Do not know what to do with it. Running on a treadmill helps to release it. P.S. I haven't taken any psychedelic.

Great discussion. Some food for my brain with a cup of morning coffee. Was on a very long road trip last night, and actually thinking about the same thing when meditating in a car. I like the lay out of your thought. I am not a pro....but helps to understand this deeper, however, I, myself, struggle with solipsism a lot. I still can not grasp this, it is almost unbelievable that it is all me and for me! Thank you.

Also, when trying to change the neuron connections in your brain prepare yourself for the storm as your brain will find any excuse and will be repulsive to any change. It is not inherently in its nature. Quickly and safely? Hm...it will take time. It all depends on your situation and motivation. Some people use hypnosis, some affirmations, meditation for sure....raising awareness should help as well, but it is rather a gradual process.

@sure Sorry if my answer is short, can’t type a lot now. I would study neuroplasticity and everything that pertains to this topic. Watching my fav psychiatrist and he says that you need more than 21 day to rewire your brain because habits are not some separate activities, they are your life style. Want to change your habit, start working on everything that is associated with that habit and rearrange your entire life setting.

Indeed ?

1. Learning from the environment, observing others, observing yourself, where ultimately everything will collapse into Oneness, where there is no you or others. IMHO observation is the best skill to develop wisdom, you can be booksmart but still not wise. Maybe the best knowledge comes with peace and stillness. 2. developing authenticity and avoiding any kind of authority. 3. Open mind is a must as well.

But why a person with a level above me would genuinely be interested in me!? Sorry if the question is stupid but I have been thinking about it for a while. How can I contribute or bring something to the table in this scenario? Perhaps, it always works in a male case, since guys ultimately leaders, but what if a woman a level above?
