This makes sense! So upon entering an unlimited state of mind, it become clear that there is no boundary between myself and other, yet most of the time I find myself in a limited state of mind (and least, it appears limited) and here it seems like there is a distinction between self and other. It sounds like you are implying the both of these are simulatenously true - 'others exist while I exist in a limited form' + 'I am the only being who exists while I exist in an unlimited form'... or have I misinterpreted your last sentence?

I can grok the idea that on some level, God is the only being that imagines everything into existence and that perhaps this is my most fundamental identity. I just don't understand how, even after becoming conscious of the imagined nature of reality, how can you possibly know for sure that others aren't having a subjective experience within this imagination? If it truly seems like they are at this state of consciousness, but it truly seems like they aren't in another state, why can't both be simulatenously true, depending on the state? And besides that, why God couldnt choose to create multiple beings with subjective experience?

Well if you (God) created/imagined them, then these minds exist now, no?

Who's to say there couldnt be another state of consciousness in which it becomes abundantly clear that there ARE other minds, without a doubt, or even that there are infinite minds?

I can agree based on my lived exeperience now and current memories that it seems safe to assume that I'll never be able to know if another mind exists, but from this state of consciousness it sure seems that others exist - it certainly seems like there's other beings out there that have private thoughts and preferences that I dont typically have access to. From this state of consiousness it does seem impossible to know for sure whether other people are having a lived experience of reality that I would call similar to my own current experience if I were to experience it. There's no real evidence that they are, but there's no real evidence that they aren't either. So yes, it seems we can never know for sure... but maybe we can. Some people seem to be pretty sure. Solopsists who "know for sure that other minds DON'T exist" with 100% or 99.99% certainty seem to have accessed a state of consiousness that I have not accessed yet. Right now, others really seem to exist... like, it seems silly to assume that they don't. But then during certain states of consiousness / deep contemplation apparently it can be 'known for sure that there are no other minds! But then it seems like you go back to the 'human' state of consiousness, now with a memory of that experience, and look, here are the other minds doing their thing! But, if reality is infinite, why can't both ontologies be true, depending on the state of conciousness? Why can't there be others and also no others? Who's to say there couldnt be another state of consciousness in which it becomes abundantly clear that there are without a doubt, other minds, or even that there are infinite minds? I've never tried 5-Meo and maybe that shows, lol

Do you get to experience all other (or any other) stories when you become conscious that you create all other stories? Or is it more of a story-less experience? Getting slightly off-topic, but one thing that's been bugging me about the way Leo discusses Truth is that he often equates concepts like 'unicorns' and 'the past experiences of my life' and 'physics' as all being 'pure fantasy'. Like, surely we're able to make some finer-grain distinctions between concepts... surely some concepts are more connected to reality/truth than other concepts? Isn't it fair enough to assume that there is actually a real place called China (even though I've never experienced it directly) when so many things in my direct experience have suggested that a place called China does in fact, exist? Isn't it fair enough to assume that my past experiences actually happened (and are not imagined, even though I am remembering them, which, yeah I guess is like a form of imagination, but not in the same sense as imagining a planet made out of bananas, for example) given that I have memories of them? Isn't it fair enough to assume that I was born when I see other people get born and grow up to become a unique person, like me? Isn't it fair enough to assume that other people are having their own unique experience of reality when they are over there, doing their thing, and here I am, and hey, we both agree on some things about this reality we find ourselves in, but not everything, and we both express ourselves in a unique way... If we are all one being, aka God, having a unique experience of reality, that's pretty cool, but we're still all having unique experiences, and physics is still more real than a unicorn.

I recently came across a brilliant stand-up comedian by the name of Rueben Solo. His comedic style is very much in the realm of meta, which I find very funny and refreshing. Besides wanting to share it with folks who are likely to appreictate this kind of humou, I am curious if y'all know of any other comedians or perhaps tv shows/movies that go super meta (yes, I'm already aware of Rick & Morty haha).
