Yes - try doing self inquiry. Discover what you think you actually are first. The brain? The body? The soul? An entity behind the eyes?

That is still subjective.

So are P-Zombies.

@Someone here there is no objective reality. Deal with it. Because i know you know.

@Nak Khid Only two realms. Form and formless. And they are One.

@justfortoday lay it down brother

Agreed. It is paramount. If you wanna start one i will feature it. Ahh. Now you inch closer. This is the very question of if a tree falls in the forest with no one around does it make a sound. What if there were no perceivers? Well it turns out a perceiver isn't required because reality IS itself. Meaning absolute Oneness. So the better question is how the FUCK can it make a sound without a perceiver? Well because it didn't. It was imagined by consciousness because consciousness is itself. It is One and unlimited. You would have to have separation between consciousness and matter for it to exist with no One conscious of it. And matter is simply impossible without being imagined. That's just something you either get or you don't. And if you can't get that - you are lost in this work. A thing can't exist unless it is held within consciousness. Because Consciousness IS itself. It is One. It cannot have anything outside of it because it is Infinity.

I tell you what its pure insanity. When you are detached completely its just pure emptiness. The backlash is after the ego teturns. But I'm not sure how this relates to Solipsism. There is no ego to feel alone and there is no one to identity with Consciousness or God. When the sense of self does return its fucking glad it has a sense of self - could give a fuck about others. Let me know the video if you can.

Its free of suffering - yes - but there is also a realization or epiphany. Or multiple realizations. But you are spot on when it comes to mental "disorders" gotta put that in quotes because there is absolutely nothing wrong with you other than there is less of the ego than there should be - which allows one to see through the illusion easier. Problem is most people suffering from mental disorders don't know about spirituality.

That is one of the biggest mindfucks you can have Agree with the others, you were close. Gotta catch the ego by surprise

Sure go for it. Like i said its very vague.

Hence my point - since it doesn't specify a paradigm in today's society sadly we default to materialism. That's what today's society believes is real. So much so than most people just mistake materialism as the truth.

@Antor8188 And then its integration time. You probably had a glimpse may have hit a non-dual state in some capacity.

@commie my point is it doesnt specify it. We use the term mind all the time. But it does not mean we are saying that matter exists within mind and not vice versa. But i can see where you see it that way. Here's why i don't see it that way. Wikipedia states that it is the philosophical view that YOUR mind is all there is and other external minds do not exist as reality. It doesn't say that Mind is all that exists. That would be idealism. There is a subtle difference

Do not conflate the relative with the Absolute.

Its deeper. It means all others are projections of your thoughts or mind. The question here is whether it presumes you are a person whose consciousness exists in the brain - or not.

@commie the philosophy of Solipism states that your mind is all there is. That's pretty much all it says unless you have found an advanced explanation? If so please share and share the source as well. So its open for interpretation. By "your mind" it is not debunking that the mind exists within the brain.

Which means you are more in touch with Truth and probably spiritually gifted.

@An young being The truth is the past and memories of the past are imaginary - just like the future. But then again you as an ego are imaginary as well. Can they be embraced? Sure. But for many awakened beings liberation is to be free from their past. Are memories imaginary? Yes. Do they cease to exist when you are not directly aware of them? YES. Your memories literally cease to exist or never existed unless you "bring them" into your direct awareness. Why? They were never actual to begin with. Because you never were a human! The Truth is you are God or the present moment! And you hold all things within your imagination It goes much deeper. Your own mother ceases to exist outside of direct awareness because she is imaginary.

Haha i know what you mean. That's the point - it is a philosophy that does not go into a lot of depth. Its rather vague. But by ego i meant it does not describe that you are alone as an infinite mind but just that your mind....or brain for that matter...is all there is...that its just you. And since materialism is the default paradigm in current times....

I know what you are saying but Solipism assumes materialism and that the ego is all there is. I would say that to describe awakening as you are imagining everything as God including all others, is a better way to say it.

That's right. @WHO IS Death is imaginary. As is your whole human existence. The body, the entity behind the eyes, the room you are in, and the coffee table where you lay your feet. All is concept and imagination. When actuality is discovered (being) then imagination falls away and Truth is laid bare. Its all God - and when You stop dreaming this you will dream something else!

Yeah to piggy back on this you don't "experience Solipsism" as it is a philosophical paradigm. Depersonalization or derealization is the detachment from a sense of self. Maybe he felt like he drifted between detachment and also a feeling that his mind - his egoic mind - was all that there was. But I'm not sure how you would experience both. They are two different things.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a legit awakening. He appears sincere.

Having experienced this "disorder", i can say that Enlightenment feels exactly like depersonalization disorder the only difference is with enlightenment you feel the Love of God, omniscience as pure Awareness, and you become conscious of what you are. The depersonalized individual has no epiphanies as the Absolute because althiough they are detached from any sense of self - they are not identified with their true nature. (And this is Bliss/Love) I remember after awakening one of the first things i exclaimed was "holy shit this is depersonalization with an order of God realization!" And Shinzen Young refers to it as enlightenments evil twin.
