No you are 😂 Why are you asking "where is it" if you don't believe in space/time?

The problem solipsists have is they grant space/time only when it suits them.

I'm asking "where" because you believe in the possibility of other minds and "other" means separation, distance, space 


No space, no time, nothing but you/this/here/now

not true this is based off false logic on the human level I can choose to agree or disagree but you are distinct from myself living seperate lives within a shared reality called Earth

No, the only thing that exists is subjectivity. I exist.

Just use logic.

Is that a new way to reassure yourself?

Being logical isn't the problem. Not realizing is the problem.

You can directly realize that everything is conciousness aswell. But logic will do the job for now also.

"Everything has the same conciousness" there, fixed it for you.

Imagine for a moment, dear friends, that you are Conciousness, and that you have only this one awareness - that you are at peace, and that you are.

If you don't believe in "other", then why do you concern yourself with whether other people experience something or not? If you don't want to assume space/time, you should not make statements about things concerning space/time. But solipsists want their cake and eat it too.

@Salvijus, I'm saying that there hasn't been anything outside existing from your experience.

Find me something that is not in your experience. Get it? If you find it, then it's in your experience.

You seem very concerned about space/time ideas for supposedly not believing in space/time.

I'm not denying that. I'm saying by using simple reasoning you can deduct that experience outside of the scope of yours does exist.

No. It's about the truthfulness of the statements. You can do logic on assumptions, but that doesn't make them true.

Everything is conciousness is not an assumption for me. Maybe that's an assumption for you, idk. After we accept that premise, everything else follows naturally into place through simple reasoning alone.

You non-solipsists do realize your mind is infinite right ? It's not a finite object like a pen 

How could there be others ? 

 

Even you describing people as non-solipsists shows that you exist, and I exist. 

Why don't you go into a pride of lions with a bag over your head, and try and prove that your experience is all there is.

You will get eaten

You are acknowledging the existence of "others" by describing people as non-solipsists

Which follows that separate consciousnesses don't exist outside if it.

Out of view, just like I can't see the back of my head. But this indeed assumes statements about space/time. If I wanted to not make statements about space/time, I would simply say "consciousness is all there is, end of story" and I would not make statements about whether space/time constructs (other people) have or don't have a certain characteristic.

It's very simple: if you don't believe in space/time, don't make statements about space/time.
