@Carl-Richard So, my understanding of maya would that the “other/ other people” is part of maya. Notice how the other people in your life you only know your own awareness. If reality is maya, why wouldn’t other people be included in that maya and not actually exist. You seem to be drawing distinctions where some things are real, like other people, other minds, space and time (all of which you only experience in your mind) which you ground in some form of rationality which is again your own mind. I wonder your thoughts on my interpretation. It doesn’t really make sense that reality would be “consciousness” but to ground your metaphysics in space/ time. There is not really any proof existentially in other minds, space or time. These things exist in consciousness. But, are not existing in and of them selves. They would be aspects if maya.

@Carl-Richard Time and space, are constructs of consciousness? How so you know anything exists outside your experience though? Because people or resources in your experience tell you? You can’t escape the fact that you believe in things outside your experience but have no proof.

@Carl-Richard Explain

@Natasha Tori Maru You disagree that there could be types, or qualities of love?

Click edit and delete it like you would any letter.

@Salvijus Yeah but that’s a finite definition of love or a type of love.

@TruthFreedom Haha, well. The forum is fun but it doesn’t quite wet the social whistle.

Self = other so that’s no surprise. We are one.

So, don’t believe in it. Aloneness doesn’t really come with it. It only comes with fake solipsism. Go socialize. Speak to friends and family. See? There are billions of people on earth and we are getting caught up in solipsistic fantasy and depression ourselves. You are not alone!

@Salvijus Yeah but how would you know that if you were dead? You imagine reality exists outside of you. As of right now you can’t prove it. It’s a belief just like solipsism is a belief. How do you know when you came into existence so didn’t all of world history, all others even physical laws. All constructed by your infinite will. To hide the truth that it’s…. all Self. Oneness. The thing is you haven’t and cannot prove anything outside of your experience. It’s either you are locked into the perspective of a physical creature, or, you are the source. What’s really true, is that you’ve only ever experienced your own mind.

Not necessarily. If solipsism is true. Because God’s mind is one, and life is a dream. God can dream a dream in which it imagines it’s finite in a word of others in which it cannot control. It can do this through its super logic and infinite will. Your mind and the mind of others would be equally real. But, reality is perceived absolutely through a single frame. Mine. So, really it’s not a case for solipsism being bs at all. When you dream at night in your own mind you deal with weird characters who you cannot control but you know they only exist in your mind right?

@TruthFreedom Yes, no one is “in your mind” but you.

Sure, but notice how no matter how hard you believe in solipsism or not people still gonna do whatever they do. All you can control is yourself at the end of the day. I guess, solipsism is the realization of omnipotence…. And all there is is sentience and sovereignty. But, that isn’t gonna change your day to day deal with a dickhole boss, or the war in Gaza.

@Hojo I think I see more of your point of view now. Can you see more of his too?

@Salvijus I don’t know if I agree. I would say for “others” to exist solipsism actually need to be wholly true. There is One Mind operating the show. There is a single frame in reality in which all others exist. Infinity has nowhere to hide. What you think are your eyes are infinity. Self and other are concepts. But, this discussion doesn’t change how life is to be lived. If you are a jerk to other people you will face societal consequences. @Hojo Okay Hojo, you’re being a cry bully too. So cool it. This guy clearly says he’s unwell. Then he acts unwell and defensive to your very pointed solipsistic assertions. You are surprised? Solipsism is a shitty belief. But, a profound, awe inspiring and beautiful awakening.

@Hojo Actually, note I’ve spoke to both of you. I also reported him for cursing at you. He said early on he was having mental health struggles because of it. I am not getting you in trouble here. I guess, I’m trying to share a perspective on grace in the context of these spiritual ideas when people are sharing they are unstable. However, we do discuss these topics on this forum. So, by using this forum you do so at your own risk. I am also discussing the topic here.

Yeah, well. Really God = consciousness. Because God is One, and all “other” are aspects of it’s oneness solipsism is true. The problem with solipsism as a belief is that neurotic minds start freaking out that others don’t exist. No, if you can look, speak and talk to them they exist. Relax. Don’t go creating freaky conceptual fantasies and stressing yourself out. The terms “self” “Self” and “other” are worth contemplating.

@Hojo I read your comments and they are hard to follow. I can see why he was triggered given his state. This isn’t an area to water hose people with your mystical, solipsistic dream world ideas. Give the person some grace.

Yes, God = Solipsism.

@TruthFreedom I have to admit, if you know this then perhaps avoiding this thread would be wise. Simply don’t engage Solipsism can be dangerous especially if taken as some twisted belief or if it’s not integrated properly. @Hojo Stop messing with him.

@TruthFreedom In this work you’re going to face some pretty challenging truths. Solipsism, can be proven or disproven. At least, you don’t know if it’s true or not. You also don’t know if it can be proven or not. You also don’t know what it is. I recognize you are upset with this forum member but please not your swearing at him goes against forum guidelines. Attacking him won’t change what is or isn’t true. If you pursue awakening you can come to your own conclusions. A mature mind can handle the views and opinions of others without needing to attack them.

@TruthFreedom Solipsism is worth contemplating. When I read your objections, they are valid. But, they don’t actually prove or disprove Solipsism. Have you ever experienced anyone else’s mind from your own? Is reality physical? Or is it consciousness? Does the existence of other beings seeming to have their own thoughts, opinions and wills truly prove against solipsism?

I speak to it all the time to reflect on my thinking. I find the advanced voice AI is far worse than the standard one. Good use of the visualization!

Hey guys, I have fallen in love with Breathwork recently and I am going all in on studying and exploring its potential and benefits.
