    I think where the term can help is providing the distinction between there being other minds outside of your own.

    I was with you until this ^

    If we are talking absolute solipsism, which to me means the only mind in existence is God's mind, although who's to say God has a "mind" per se. Then, why say it like you did here- "minds outside of your own". Of course existence is non-dual, but oneness doesn't mean sameness.

    Where people get tripped up is the finite part.  Yes I do not mean the ego.  Hence "Absolute Solipsism".  You are not really a finite Being you are one who is Infinite but has dialed down there conscious level to appear finite.   

    If we are talking about "infinite", then why say solipsism?

    Solipsism is talking about the finite mind being the only thing in existence.

    and also to help people awaken too

    But, aren't you saying there are no other ppl to awaken? Ppl are just in your mind? I don't by the solipsism view and yes I heard Leo's video on it 

    First, because you aren't even your mind. Mind is just thought, are you your thoughts or are you aware OF thought?

    Not exactly.   There are many POVs but they are imaginary.  Which of course is real too because imagination is all there is, so that makes them real.   But the other POVs have no existence or experience outside of your Mind as God.  You are the only actual mind in existence - the only experience.

    So, I have my own views, but I'm trying to understand your lingo.

    First, "your mind as god", you mean this in a literal sense? Because, I think many here think you are referring to their finite ego mind IS god.

    I would word it, awareness plus attributes/maya = god and since we are awareness, we by default are also god or god is us.

    However, we as finite humans (even if only apparently real) are not all powerfull, all knowing, etc like god. So, we do not have god-like attributes, as human beings. 

    Can it be realized that one is awareness, absolutely. Can it be realized that god is awareness, plus maya which is creator, absolutely. From there my view is that all things in the material world/universe are only apparently real.

    So, all of creation, minds, bodies, etc. are all thought up, made up, by Isvara/God that is awareness with attributes/maya. Thus, this human mind/body is but an "aspect" of God the creator itself, since all things are Gods creation. Whether you want to say in an 'absolute' sense,  that it is you or not.

    Just my two cents, as always.?

    @Ananta I think that what you are saying is compatible with states of consciousness. Playing video games is a state of consciousness, working is a state of conscious and so is self-actualizing, organizing, prioritizing, etc. I think that this is the key here since sleeping is also an activity and a state of consciousness. I get it, you're giving me more basic advice, am I just being too abstract or am I actually on to something with making it practical?

    To me,  "states of consciousness" have different meaning for different ppl. Just Google it and scroll, you'll see how many definitions there are.

    I don't use the term unless I'm also defining what I mean by it. For example, I may mean that "states of consciousness" means simply- waking, dreaming, deep sleep and altered consciousness. Then, of course saying "I am consciousness/awareness" in the absolute sense. 

    To be honest, I don't know if I'm understanding your usage, since you are stating individual activities while awake as being different states of consciousness. To me, they are just the waking state of consciousness.

    I think what he meant, is that they would have the attack of suprise, not the other way around, however you could say now that is wouldn't be much of a suprise if Russia would attack other countries, so arguments could be made on both sides.

    The thing is, even if that's what was meant. How can you attack Russia with the element of surprise if you've already allowed them to take your land and government, as well as your military equipment. To me, it's now or never...

    My assumption is that Putin is someone that Russians must admire since he has been in power for so long. Though I can't be completely sure since Russia is so secretive. 

    I wouldn't know if Russians admire him and I wouldn't assume so, mostly because it's a dictatorship. So, who knows how they really feel, since they don't have a right to free speech.

    I bet they won't love him after all these sanctions take effect. The ppl there are going to suffer for his choices.

    I was actually referring to a benevolent dictator, like in olden days we had kings. I was referring to noble kings. Although they would be called dictators too by today's standards since they might not get elected by the people in a democratic way. 

    We can call it a different name like monarch. 

     

    Hm, you said in your next sentence you thought the ppl of Russia were in love with Putin until now and now you don't know how they feel. So, seems to me you were talking about Putin?

    This may sound cowardly, but given that it's very likely that Russia will end up taking over all of Ukraine, maybe the Ukrainians should surrender to Russia

    Yes, to me it does sound cowardly. Why surrender before the country is truly defeated? To surrender now would be to roll over and let Putin have his way. Screw that! Good thing they they a president with some balls! Go president Zelensky! ?
