  1. You’re moving from ‘this experience ends’ to ‘there must be others,’ and I’m not sure that follows logically.
  2. This reminds me of a point-and-click game I played, Critters for Sale, very interesting and cryptic.
  3. I think I know where you are coming from, you mean that, since God is existence itself (this current experience), it cannot be divided, therefore, other experiences cannot exist?
  4. I'm not really in denial, I just want to understand solipsism as it's taught here. Wouldn't saying that God cannot have multiple perspectives simultaneously be a limitation?
  5. But why would it be impossible for God to create distinctions within Himself, billions of limited yet simultaneously conscious beings as in traditional non-dualistic views of other minds?
  6. It's very random, like the most random thing you can imagine can cause me a huge trigger and I start spiralling, like seeing a cat crossing the street. And while i'm spiralling the most prevalent idea during a panic attack is that of "needing to escape from something" when there is nothing to escape from or nowhere to escape to, like, if I keep panicking I might die, and then? If I take a sleeping pill I will sleep and wake up tomorrow and go to work, and then? and then? and then? I'm trying my best to put into words my thought process during my crises, because it's very difficult to explain
  7. Even if anything God creates must ultimately come from God and therefore cannot be completely separate from Him, it’s not clear that this rules out the possibility of distinct points of view within God. Why would it follow that everything must collapse into a single undifferentiated perspective?
  8. You might be treating “other people’s experiences” as something real, when in fact they are just ideas within your own experience. All you ever directly encounter are people’s words, actions, and appearances in your experience. That would be my guess.
  9. I have some virtual friends I made on online games, but none in real life.
  10. I'm undergoing treatment for depression using Mirtazapine, which isn't an SSRI but is similar. Does anyone know if this will affect my experience with the psychedelic?
