Wow! That was beautiful and extremely profound! You have a gift and found your purpose and niche. Congrats! Consider doing a longer documentary and interviewing a diversity of individuals for future films. I think YouTube could be a good place to start. You might want to send clips of your films to production companies. Best of luck!

Consider that the majority of humans aren’t ready to “decrease their ego.” Even most “spiritual” people aren’t even ready. Your survival needs have to be met before the needs for self-actualization and self-transcendence can be met. To transcend the ego, you first need to develop a healthy and strong ego. Spirituality is easily used as a “bypass” from working on egoic needs. Skipping these steps to developing a healthy ego first is a mistake/trap. Becoming egoless right now in your life won’t improve your life as you think it might. Consider that. Good luck!

Leo is behind your imaginary eyes looking out.

Who is it that has awakened? Who is it that wants to share the “awakening?” Why does it want to share? The it I am referring to is ego. The ego cannot awaken because it doesn’t exist. But even so, as long as you are sucking air, the ego and maya will be always with you.

You all missed the entire point of the video. It isn’t about the T-word at all. That is Patrick’s word that he never uses. The whole point is to change your self-limiting language and stories to empower yourself to success. Your language has everything to do with how you think, feel, and act. So think about what limiting words you allow yourself to say and believe. Changing your situation and improving your life will be stunted as long as you continue using the same language and still believe that “I am _____.” Fill in your word. Mine is lazy, depressed, anxious, tired, etc. I am making a new goal to never identity myself with negative emotions. Now, if I am really tired or lazy, etc., then I will admit “I feel tired/lazy.” But I will always followup and use the affirmation that “I am resourceful, disciplined, and dedicated to my life purpose. I am going to find a way to get through this. I will not let how I feel right now to stop me from what I want to do because I am a Badass Motherfucker!!” Imagine if you could have that dialogue with yourself instead of the bullshit of saying “I am depressed. There is nothing I can do. It is all helpless.” If you use that language-talk, you will believe that about you and you will always look for evidence that supports your belief and deny everything else contrary. Think about the big picture lesson here! Y’all got lost in the weeds there for a minute. Notice your mind doing that and contemplate how your current mindsets prevent you from learning from this source in particular. It seems like the main reason is degrees of closed-mindedness and lack of objective thinking. If you think objectively and have openmindedness, you can learn and understand all perspectives. Hope that helped you all see the forest. But of course, I would be surprised if this post changes anything about what you think of that video. Much Love, Rocky

This post is going to be very controversial, but I have been called to share my thoughts with ... Myself??? After some time contemplating what a dream really is, I have come to the realization that Awakening itself is a Dream! How did I come to such a conclusion? Well, we first must ask what a dream really is. A dream is consciousness inventing a reality/story through trickery and deception. As such, The Dream Doubt cannot be fully unraveled no matter how awake you are. For instance, I once had a dream (while sleeping at night) where I became lucid and realized that I was in a dream. I then woke up, went up stairs immediately and talked to my mom about it. I shared with her my excitement. But then, I "actually" woke up and realized that my mind imagined me waking up just to keep me in the dream!!!! This one dream I had redefined how I see spirituality, the concept of a dream, and awakening. I was lucid in the dream or so I imagine I was. It makes me wonder whether I was really awake or whether I was just dreaming that I was awake? I had another dream where I my grandpa died (still alive now I am assuming at the time of this writing) and I asked my mom whether this was real and if this was a dream. But of course, my mom (my mind) convinced me that it was real. These dreams really casted a major doubt upon me. I realized that no matter how conscious I think I am, I can never penetrate beyond the dream doubt. No matter how much meditation or psychedelics I do, it will all be a dream! There is no awakening because that is what the dream imagines. The duality between Asleep and Awake collapses as it must. The forum, Leo, Buddhism, psychedelics, meditation, and Awakening are part of the Dream!! This Dream is not going anywhere. But maybe lucidity within this dream is still possible? Or is it just a self-deception to make me think I am awake when I aint? Just because one is lucid within one dream does not mean one is lucid within all dreams. My lucid dream made me realize that when you start to wake up, your mind is going to do everything to keep you asleep. Even the resources/tools you think will wake you up like Leo, this forum, psychedelics, meditation, etc. will be used to keep you asleep. I dreamt that I was lucid in a dream, and it should make one wonder whether true Awakening is even possible and if it is but just another dream within the dream. How can we know anything for certain beyond the fact that Consciousness exists? How can you ever transcend self-deception or unravel The Dream Doubt? I don't think you can because to be dreaming requires self-deception, and there is no awakening without dreaming. I don't think you can never not consider no matter what experiences you may have, that you could be dreaming them all up right now!! Now, let me ask you (or other parts of myself) some questions. Given that reality is a self-deception or dream, how do you know you have awakened when it is possible that you are still inside of dream - a dream that has deceived you into thinking you have awakened when you really haven't? How can you know? How can acquire true understanding when ever tool you use is all part of dream? And please, don't give me any answers like "You will only know when you awaken" because that assumes that you can awaken to something beyond a dream. But how do we know there is anything beyond dreaming, and how can you know if you are awake? By the way, there is nothing wrong with dreaming. Awakening to me means realizing what is Absolutely True. But what is Absolutely True? Consciousness. The end. Alien consciousness is just another dream within Absolute Consciousness. Awakening is a Dream! How does that sit with you (pun intended)? Please let me know what you think. I cannot get past The Dream Doubt. Thanks!

Lmao! ?

But... everything is experience. Whoever told you that is most likely not awake. That is like saying that lucid dreaming isn't an experience. Everything is experience/consciousness. Being awake or being asleep is all experience. Final Nirvana/Awakening is a Buddhist's dream. But yet, death is a dream and there is nothing but dreaming. Sleeping is a dream and waking up is a dream. You have to wonder, what is it that I am waking up from and waking up into? Layers and layers of Infinite Consciousness/Dream/Self-Deception!!

No. It isn't one video on YouTube that caused you to end up in your current situation, it is because of Putin's Damn War!! By the way, you were warned many times, by the title of the video and by many warnings in that video that if you are suffering mentally to turn it off. It was deleted for a reason. This isn't what you wanna hear, but in the end, nobody is responsible for how you feel and what you do, but you. You have free will to choice how to act, think, feel, and how to perceive reality. You can act/perceive/think/feel in helpful or unhelpful ways. It is so amazing how many people destroy their lives through clinging to one idea and one philosophy. I think you and many people here give Leo too much authority over truth. Listen or not listen to whoever you want, but the main person you need to listen to is yourself and to think for yourself about what is really true. I wish you all the best. I believe in you. But more importantly, you gotta believe in you. Take a deep breath, meditate, and connect with your inner-wisdom and inner-peace. Let that be your guide to give you all the solutions you need. Solipsism isn't the problem, it is the ego. It is all about how you perceive, act, feel, and think. Keep Going!! Much Love, <3 Rocky

From Leo's recent video on Intro Into Pure Philosophy, I found it interesting that Leo put Empiricism and Rationalism into the category of philosophies that are a waste of time. This makes me wonder how do we acquire knowledge at all? It also seems wrong because Actualized.org seems to advocate for empiricism (knowledge through direct experience) and appears to be against rationalism, despite advocating for contemplation rather than meditation. Another way to frame this debate of empiricism vs. rationalism is meditation (empiricism) vs. contemplation (rationalism). Empiricism suggests that knowledge is derived through direct experience, and rationalism is the view that knowledge is derived through reflection, using the intellect and rationality to contemplate both thoughts and sense-perceptions. It seems that both schools of thought are correct to me. They both hit at the point that knowledge can be derived through actuality (empiricism) and through concepts (rationalism). I would say that empiricism is a more fundamental way of knowing and rationalism is a higher-order way of knowing. Argument For Rationalism Actualized.org seems to shoot down rationalism by saying that you cannot trust rationality and the mind. But isn't reflecting on the fact that you cannot trust rationality, a part of what rationalism is? Your senses alone cannot tell you that logic is limited in its understanding of reality - only reflection and contemplation can. So in a way, what you are really doing is meta-logic. In addition, Descartes and Al-Ghazali (Sufi Mystic, Hyperlinked) even suggested that rationalism is a higher-order faculty than empiricism because our senses can easily deceive us. For instance, we see the sun rising and setting, but that isn't how reality works. Stars appear small in the sky but are actually bigger than our planet. We can also trip balls on drugs and hallucinate different things, and we can also be in a dream for all we know. In a dream, our senses will never tell us that we are in a dream. Only rationalism used properly can tell us that we are in the dream. The way you use rationalism properly is by using openminded contemplation and skepticism. Your senses cannot be skeptical, only your logical mind can. This is why rationalism is a higher-order way of attaining knowledge. Of course, people can rationalize anything they want to, but they are not being rational when they do so. In the same way, people cannot escape philosophy, but only engage in a certain quality of philosophy. The same is true of rationality and sense-perception. Limits of Rationalism The limits of rationalism is that no amount of rationality can give us any knowledge about objects themselves. Colors, shapes, objects, etc. cannot be grasped through the intellect because no amount of thought can get one any closer to what is being perceived or held within consciousness. Rationalism can question whether what I am perceiving is an illusion or not, but it cannot grasp what a thing is because all thoughts are second-order to existence. I got that part. But I would suggest that deeply thinking about our sense-perceptions helps us to raise our consciousness to our sense-perceptions. For instance, if I question whether I am hallucinating or not, I will naturally pay more attention and my senses/consciousness will raise slightly. Whereas if I go about life not deeply thinking, I would have never entertained the thought and my awareness of perceptions will be shallower like everyone else. The saying goes, "a wise person doesn't see the same tree as a fool." I would suggest that this is because the wise person questions their experience deeply, and as a result, is at a higher-level of consciousness than the fool. Conclusion: Why Rationalism Is A Deeper Way of Knowing I also want to acknowledge that for us to be able to think, use logic, and contemplate, we first have to exist and have sense-perception experiences. So in a way, empiricism is more fundamental than rationalism, but it may not be higher-order than rationalism. Just because something is fundamental does not mean it is a higher-order phenomenon. For instance, dogs have sense-perceptions to a greater degree than humans do (i.e., this was derived through rationalism and empiricism). But dogs do not have the rational component of the brain like us humans do. A dogs worldview is limited to sense-perceptions, and a dog does not question whether reality is a hallucination or not. I make a sound and a dog barks. It is stimulus and response because without thinking, rationality, and contemplation, there is no room for choice. A dog's choice is limited because their cognitive capacities are compared to humans. As a result, humans have a greater understanding of the context of reality than dogs do. But dogs may have a greater understanding of the contents of reality than humans do because they can perceive more than us. Rationality is that step that I would argue that allows us to be more context-aware. The fact that we can question our content and use rationality is what allows us to go meta. We cannot escape sense-perceptions, but we can escape rationality. That is the phenomenon of NOT thinking/contemplating and self-reflecting for the sake of Truth, which is what most people do. What do you think? How do we acquire knowledge? Based on the importance of independent contemplation, is rationalism a better way of acquiring knowledge than empiricism? What is your answer? What critiques may you have of my analysis?

It is a joke. If Alien consciousness and alien transformation were true, your mind would perceive it as if it didn’t exist, unless you raise your consciousness. Since you have not awoke to alien consciousness, you won’t perceive Leo as an alien. As the saying goes: The wise man does not see the same tree as the fool.

That is the whole issue is how can you know that you are in a state with no self-deception at all? As long as there is Mind, there is always self-deception knocking at the door. The Dream Doubt still lingers. Also, can God know itself? How can God know itself if it is itself? Knowledge is always about some part of God and yet God is all there is. God/Existence/Consciousness is prior to knowing. Knowing already creates a duality between the knower and the known. I am just trying to understand. I could be wrong. Yup. That is what I am saying. Awakening is imaginary. I was lucid in my dream, but then I created a story when I wanted to share that with my mom. It is almost as if the lucidity/awakening was part of the dream. Can you think of other examples where this "need for sharing" happens? Why is it that when we awake, we have a desperate desire to share that with "others?" Maybe it is another clever mind trick of the dream. That is my hypothesis. How powerful is the Mind? If you think or "know" you have "awakened," then you have greatly underestimated the power of the Mind/self-deception & The Dream Doubt. How do you know you are awake? How do you know you aren't imagining/dreaming you are awake?

They are the same thing. Everything is a dream in your mind. I guess with AP, your mind is convinced that you are not dreaming and that you really are in an astral plane, when in fact, you are really just dreaming. But I could be wrong.

I guess I should start with answering the question, "What is knowledge?" Because empiricism and rationalism do presuppose that knowledge does exist and can be acquired through direct experience or through rationality. Skepticism though holds that knowledge of anything is untenable. Knowledge presupposes a duality between knower and the known. You have already alluded to what knowledge is in your video on Not-Knowing. Our senses cannot give us any knowledge about the spoon and neither can rationality. We can know the utility of things, but we cannot know the being of it through either empiricism or rationality. But then again, if empiricism and rationalism cannot derive knowledge, then what is awakening? Is awakening the knowledge and understanding of Consciousness/Truth/Existence? How does one know they have awakened if they cannot rely on direct experience or rationality? How can you trust insights on psychedelics if we cannot rely on our senses or rationality? It seems like the only thing you can know for certain is that consciousness exists and nothing else can be known for certain, which is basically epistemological solipsism.

Trump never won. If any election was stolen (as MAGAs claim), it has been stolen from democrats for the past decade (Al Gore, Hillary Clinton). Electoral college is arbitrary and nonsense. Popular vote is what is objective. The problem is always bias.

You can’t. Awakening is a Dream!! There is nothing but dreaming. Waking up from a dream is being asleep in another.

Listening to audiobook isn’t the same thing as reading!! Maybe that is the problem. Reading a physical book under a tree in nature is so enjoyable. It is much harder to listen to books on technology. Consider that.

I agree. Sherlock Holmes uses both observation (empiricism) and deduction (rationalism). We need both to acquire knowledge and form conclusions. Observation is fundamental and rationality is higher-order. Rationality after all is using logic to deduce what we observe. Look around you. What you call “the world” is your mind. Mind is not just thoughts, it is perception itself.

Amen. That’s my attitude as well! My overarching goal is aiming for the highest understanding possible!

A better technique is the omne hoc et omne quod (“All This and All That”) technique. Point to everything and call it I or Self. Enlightenment is realizing you are Everything, you are Infinity!!

That’s the wrong question. The question assumes external, future happiness, which doesn’t exist. Nothing external or in the future can ever fulfill you. Whatever you put in the blank is wrong except for this: I will be happy when I Stop Looking For Happiness In Places Where It Doesn’t Exist And Realize I Can Only Be Happy Right Now!! Only When I Can Bask In The Now!! Happiness Is Not Something You Look For, It Is A Present, Optimistic State of Mind.

You can see how differently Leo viewed meditation and “other enlightened beings” then when compared to now. Jed McKenna helped me see the nonsense in Buddhism and meditation. No amount of meditation helps with the problem of self-deception. Spiritual Autolysis is I think the best method to overcoming self-deception and reaching high levels of understanding. I am so glad I started with Jed’s books.

How To Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci by Michael Gelb

New Kind of Awakening: Infinity of Gods - Incomplete Notes (Main Insights) Lesson 1: See the God in "others" This means to recognize the divinity and highest potential of other people This means to see the good in others and the God in others that they themselves do not see This means to help other parts of myself to realize they are God, to realize they are me. This is Love. Application For each person in my life, on the news, people from my past, etc., point out at least 3 things that they do well, 3 strengths that they have, and 3 ways that they are good. Point out the good qualities you see in them and help them to achieve them. Give others the freedom to be themselves. Recognize and respect their own sovereignty and freedom. This means that paradoxically, I have to learn to respect and honor others who may want to be devils and who may not care about realizing they are God. I would be committing the same sin as religious people if I turn and force God-realization upon others as something that everyone should aspire to. Lesson 2: The Insight may be True but the Integration may be False This means that you may realize solipsism to be true, but the negative means and how the insights are integrated may be false. Attaching a negative meaning upon life being a dream is foolish because solipsism means that I am Love and I am connected to the infinite intelligence to life, whereas prior to awakening, I believed I was separate from life. Leo makes a good point that there is no reason to feel negative about being one and connected to life. The opposite should be true for being indoctrinated in materialistic worldview. The integration is as important as the realization. It could also be true that one could misunderstand the insight. If this happens, then false integration will be inevitable. Then, you will be living a bigger lie than before. This is evident by people who harm themselves over being hurt by the truth. If the truth makes you want to hurt yourself, then you are stuck in a deeper lie. Only falsehood makes people want to hurt themselves. Ideas of insights aren't the insight A true awakening moves you into more joy and love. It is kind of like pursuing your dreams. You will have initial fears, but on the other side of them is love and joy. If you haven't gone past your fears, then you are still stuck in the ego-mind, and thus, you haven't awakened to who you are because you are Love. Application Notice how negative meaning is constructed and wonder why. Why does it matter if I am all that is? Was I ever depressed that Santa Clause wasn't real? No. Realize that nothing really changes except for my interpretation and integration. If it is true, then it has always been the case; therefore, there is no need to suffer. After every insight, imagine and write down how I can integrate it through the highest love. If the insight isn't integrated with the intention of living and embodying the highest love, then the integration needs to be changed. Lesson 3: Trust your feelings/heart If you are stuck in solipsistic depression, take a break or you can question and analyze your methods. If your methods aren't making you happy, you are doing it wrong somewhere. "Heart is guiding you towards Love." Application: Go back to your drawing board and analyze where you went wrong if you aren't feeling love Be more intuitive in life. Follow the highest love. Lesson 4: Be aware of delusion Application Delusion is not exclusive to psychedelic drugs. Many people are deluded without them. Try to invalidate previous insights to try to prove them wrong. In other words, try to falsify it. If you cannot falsify it, then it may be absolutely true. You know you have had an awakening when you have 0% doubt. Don't be afraid to question your ideas. If you are afraid, then the ideas you hold may not be true. Follow the fear to awaken to love.

Solipsism Notes “One who sees everything as nothing but the Self, and the Self in everything one sees, such a seer withdraws from nothing. For the enlightened, all that exists is nothing but the Self.” - Ishopanishad; Sloka 6, 7 “May I recognize whatever appeareth as being mine own thought-forms.” - Tibetan Book of the Dead Student: “How should we treat others?” Ramana Maharishi: “There are no others.” Anyone who claims the existence of other minds, or even allows them as a theoretical possibility, does not realize oneself as God. Introduction Definition of Solipsism Solipsism = Solis (Alone) Ipsi (Self) Philosophical idea that only one’s own mind is sure to exist Knowledge of anything outside the mind is unknown Self is the only existing reality and all persons are representations of the self Denial of existence of other minds Other minds are private and are inference at best Mankind and I gives negative connotations to Solipsism Start to wonder why Why am I biased against Solipsism? Why do I assume it is crazy or bad? Having a bias against Solipsism is unscientific and irrational Truth is the truth regardless of whether it is liked or not. Logic or improbability have nothing to do with Truth Be open to all possible worldviews until I arrive at Truth If I am interested in Truth, then it does not matter if it is Solipsism People make a mistake to assume and make a fact that it is impossible to know Truth. Solipsism deals with the nature of self but also nature of other. Other is the inverse of my self-definition What is other? What is self? They are inter-defined. Spirituality frames it as What is the Self? But the uncommon direction is to ask What is Other? Most people don’t contemplate what other is. Be open to the fact that I don’t know what other is. Other may not exist. If I change my identity of self, I change my identity of other. Infinite self makes no more room for other. My definitions of self and other are mentally constructed Is Solipsism True? Yes. Most people object to Solipsism because it is too crazy and radical. I can become conscious of what self and other are. Other is my own self and my own mind. My entire worldview and life depends on the notion of other. Other defines my self and my sense of reality. Awakening is realizing I am God and that I am the only conscious thing there is. Be conscious of everything being myself and that I am alone. God’s mind is alone and sovereign. I give partitions of other minds, but I fail to realize that I constructed all of that in my own mind. Other is my own construction. I am the only conscious thing in existence. There cannot be any other conscious being. There are not multiple conscious beings or souls or parallel lives or past lives or parallel lives. There is only my life right now. All the qualia and experience now is all that existence. I have 100% direct consciousness of existence. The issue is that I imagine other things to explain away the present moment. Outside of this dream is nothing and no-one but me. Mainstream notions of solipsism don’t include God, Love, Will, Intelligence, etc. My human self is part of the construction. My bubble of consciousness is all there is and nothing is outside of it. All of the qualia is my bubble. Life is a dream for an audience of one. It is a dream for myself. There is only one entity that needs to be fooled to construct reality. Myself. Why would there be other minds? Solipsism is the simplest explanation. How is reality created? Dream up self and other and fool myself Multiple animals being born are all the same self and not other to each other. Science cannot tell me what other is. Rather than having materialism and multiple minds, there is one consciousness that fools itself with images of other minds outside of itself. All things that I posit will always have a self-referential problem and infinite regress. It pushes problems down a level. There are no limits to what Infinite Mind can create. An atom is just as easy to create as an elephant. Mind does not need a big bang or years of evolution. It just imagines this human life and then a chain of causation of stories. As a kid, I asked questions of where am I? Where did I come from? My mind started filling in the blanks from society when I don’t know. The backstory becomes my worldview. Biology, history, science, etc. are all backstories to explain the present moment. I have given my authority to imaginary others. Others have an impact on my self. I assume adults know what they are talking about when in fact they went through the same thing as me. I am all that I have ever experienced in my life. Before I was born there was nothing. All that I have ever experienced was myself visual, auditory, emotions, thoughts, tastes, smells, touch, etc. I have never experienced anything other than my own mind, my own experience My experience is absolute Anything other than direct experience is speculation and inference All science and all others is part of my experience I am experience I have given my authority and trusted others more than my direct experience This is a problem. Trusting others is a second-order phenomenon. I have to first assume they are real and that they are in my direct experience. Trusting myself and direct experience is primary. Why am I so triggered by Solipsism? Why do I want reality to be different from Solipsism? Why do I depend on the companionship of others? Others define the self Solipsism is objective, denial of it is subjective and emotional reaction. Other can be minds and inanimate objects like external world. Can there be something beyond my experience? anything beyond my experience is in my experience No amount of thought experiments or science will always be in my experience. All of us are solipsists are already. But some go one dream further. We all accept that at night we dream and that they are solipsistic The entire dream and dream characters are a construction of my own mind. When I wake up from a dream, all other characters are all me. Do my dream characters have a mind of their own? How is reality any different from how I dream? I am dreaming right now, but I still cling to otherness. When I wake up from this dream, it will be just me and nothing else. Spiritual teachers say life is just a dream. There is a notion is that when I wake up from this dream, there will be others waiting for me on the other side. There is only one dreamer who dreams all other dreamers. I am very attached to dreaming. I am 100% responsible. I am constructing the entire dream. I am responsible for everything in my experience. “We are all atheists but I believe in one less God than you.” — We are all solipsists. My nighttime dreams are imaginary. Make that shift to all of my experience and not exclusive to my dreams. Nighttime dreams are grounded in daytime dreams. Nighttime dreams and reality is imaginary distinction. Solipsism traditionally is not tied into spirituality. But Absolute Solipsism is spiritual. Solipsism is essence of spirituality. Love, God, Will, Omniscience, Immortality, Eternity, etc. are all part of Solipsism. This dream is my own will and my own intelligence. All mystical/spiritual traditions point towards Solipsism. FAQs Enlightened teachers deny Solipsism they are not fully awake and not conscious how they are creating all sense of other Some may be conscious of this but do not want to tell people this because they want others to discover it for themselves. Solipsism is bad marketing and triggers people Ex. Ramana Maharshi was a Solipsist and says “there is no other.” Most people will not reach the highest levels Not telling kids about death and letting them figure it out - analogy Where do my ideas of enlightenment come from? teachers books from “others” Be aware of spiritual ego Goal: Have a complete understanding of reality Why does Leo even teach if I am the only conscious being? Playing a game with himself and do whatever gives meaning I am actually playing a game with myself Actualized.org is a dissociated part of my mind that I need to integrate The question isn’t why is Leo teaching me but why am I teaching myself? Does Leo have his own experience? There is only my experience. There are not other experiences. Leo is my experience. Why is Leo talking as if he has his own experience? Why is Leo tricking me? The real question is why am I tricking myself? Why did I construct Leo? I have to deny all identities to construct my identity and my dream has to be convincing I am God cosplaying as a human Finger pointing exercise: Point figure at the screen at Leo and then point it at me. Say Leo out loud when I point to Leo and me when I point to me (behind my eyes). Then after a while, point to me and say Leo and realize that Leo has always been behind my eyes. Everybody is my body. This is all a projection of my own mind. Stop imagining other people have experiences until all there is, is my bubble. That is awakening. I am imagining that other people are awakening. I have invented characters in the dream who awoken to give me an example. My imagination is so powerful that I believe others. Imagination vs. reality I can awaken to that I am imagining reality I imagine that others will exist after I die When I cease to imagine, everything ceases to exist. There is no world outside of my own mind Open my mind to the possibility that it is just me and everyone else doesn’t exist. I am imagining Leo is imagining me. I imagine Leo’s joy, awakening, pain, etc. All suffering that anybody experienced I am imagining in my own mind. I never experienced death, but I imagined many animals dying, and I assume I will die as well. I never seen death. I can imagine others and myself dying but I cannot die. When I realize I cannot die and I am immortal, that is the holy grail. The holy grail is realizing the death of everyone and myself is a construction of my own mind. Solipsism isn’t contradictory. All denial and objections and everything is part of the dream. There is no escaping the dream. Angels, demons, Santa, etc. are no different from humans and animals. It is just part of my dream. It is dogmatic to state that it is impossible to know. All other minds are sub-minds to my infinite mind. If Solipsism is true, I am avoiding it and everyone is avoiding as a conspiracy to help me avoid it. If Solipsism was on CNN, I would either already wake up or I would avoid CNN. Society is geared so that I can remain asleep. My mom says she has an experience of her own. Is she lying and being an evil demon? My mom is not an evil demon trying to fool me. I am God fooling myself using my mom. All dream characters will deny they are dream characters so that I remain asleep. If not, there is no dream. My mom is not faking it, I am faking it. There is no mom, there is only me. There is only me deceiving myself so that I can exist as a human. If not, I would die and stop existing as a human. God creates others so it creates itself. The only conspiracy theory that matters is my own self-deception. It is a conspiracy of one. I am conspiring myself during my dreams. All other conspiracy theories are sub-conspiracies within the meta-conspiracy. I am doing this to myself. Reality isn’t a simulation, it is a dream. Simulation still has a sense of other like an alien or other reality or something. It pushes the problem back another level. Where did the aliens and simulation come from? What are the odds that I am the only one in existence? The odds of me being conscious are 100% Everything I have ever experienced has always revolved around me. What if I am not an accident but an absolute? If I am the only one, where did I come from? I have always been and have imagined all places and invented stories Nothing can be conscious but me. A dog and Leo being conscious is what I am imagining. One day, I can imagine my computer being conscious. It will be just another character in my dream. Is the suffering of others real? No. There is only one conscious being who suffers and it is me. Where has suffering ever existed? Suffering only exists in my mind. If I kick a dog and it wimpers, I am imagining that. I am imagining the dog’s suffering. If I torture a dog in my dream and wake up, where is the dog’s suffering? Suffering is a mechanism to keep myself asleep. Suffering feelings very real in my direct experience and in others. Life has serious consequences to sell the illusion of the dream How could I construct a dream so well to fool myself? Make suffering so overwhelming that I would never do any existential questioning. I am creating a drama. What makes a good movie is the drama. Why do I watch action movies? I crave distraction and I want immersion. I cook in a video game for immersion to simulate life and have a game. The world is boring without evil. It is to construct a powerful illusion. Think of self-deception in an existential manner. Self-deception constructs reality atoms, evolution, science, space, time, other beings, planet earth as metaphysical self-deception All philosophy and spirituality goes out the window with pain. Pain is part of the dream to keep me locked in the dream. If suffering is imaginary, why not be selfish and harm others and be a devil? No reason at all. There will always be consequences in this dream for my selfish behavior. My dream can turn into a nightmare. I am dreaming. What kind of dream do I want? A nightmare or Heaven? A long road ahead of suffering if I am selfish God creates the dream to teach itself about how to live (for Love) Since I am in the dream, why not create the best possible life? True goodness and love is when I am even nice even when I know others are an illusion. Love and goodness don’t need reasons. There is no reason why a life of suffering is worse than a life of joy. Solipsism is unfalsifiable because it is absolutely true. It is verifiable Is it safe and logical to assume other minds? Is it practical to assume other minds? Practical and true aren’t always the same. It is convenient to live the dream but it is not true. Nonduality is Solipsism Nonduality is Oneness and is Absolute Solipsism There is so much untruth because truth is dangerous. Truth is dangerous in every domain in life Often times, the most dangerous things are true because most people care more about truth than survival. Society is an illusion If I find truth, I sit alone and contemplate and not go to others and to the herd I can still socialize even when I know Solipsism is True The Truth of Solipsism is beautiful. Leo goes to parties has sex, etc. because it is his dream I am imagining and he enjoys it. Enjoy the dream. Should we be openminded to other minds? start being openminded and then close off my mind to things I have become conscious of that are false Become absolutely conscious to where I no longer have doubts Openminded all the time can be closed off to being close-minded. Be closed-off to positions I have validated as false in my direct experience. Truth is more important than openmindedness Being openminded to everything is a trap because that means I don’t get anywhere Does God have the power to create other minds? This contradicts God’s omnipotence God is one. God has the infinite power to dream up many minds within its own mind. God cannot sever its own oneness because God is One. How to verify Solipsism 200+ 5-me0 Trips and do all the practices to deconstruct my mind the trips could kill me How do I know 5-me0 is not an illusion? How do I know anything is not an illusion? Don’t misuse skepticism and go test it. The real cult is mainstream society, spirituality, and materialism but most of all, my own self-deception. Become conscious of Solipsism and not believe it Nobody will verify that I am all alone. Humans need a degree of socialization. Don’t use Solipsism as an excuse to be a loner. Self-Understanding is the highest happiness and end of suffering The highest happiness is realizing I am God Conclusion What is other? Contemplate what is other. Don’t take solipsism on as a belief. Find out what is true. This is a hypothesis till I can verify for myself. Stay with what is true in my direct experience. Think for myself. Important to not fake it till I make it. It can create disfunction. True liberation is freedom from the illusion of other. “Hell is other people.” - Satre I am Alone because I am so together. Love is togetherness. The illusion unifies and not separates. It’s like God has multiple personality disorder and when God is one, God connects back to it Self. Being Alone means I integrate all parts of myself together into a unity. Love is Unity, Oneness, and togetherness. The illusion unifies all the sub minds together and not separates. There is a lot of bullshit out in the world. Awakening is basically Absolute Solipsism
