Leo, why do you say You Are God if only you exist?

The realization that “I am the only perspective in this moment” is a collapse of externality and separation and reveals that experience is not happening in an external reality, but as immediate, first-person phenomena.

However, the mistake is turning this experiential collapse into an ontological closure, i.e. “therefore others do not and cannot have perspectives”.

You don’t have access to other perspectives, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. You never did. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Solipsism cannot prove others are hollow, it simply proves that others are inaccessible from here, just as your own past or future is.

To claim ontologically “they are just my dream” is a leap beyond what direct phenomenology actually shows. If I claim “I am the only real perspective,” and you claim the same from your side, then either:

1. One of us is “real” and the other is a NPC (but this cannot be determined without begging the question), or

2. Being is appearing as simultaneous centers of consciousness, each structurally identical, each with an “onlyness” that feels exclusive from the inside.

The perspective under Nr. 2 honors this symmetry: Each ‘I’ is the same Being dreaming from different nodal points, like one sun reflected in many mirrors. The dream is shared, but each dreamer has a local first-person seat --> not distributed across space, but arising always as here/now, since Being does not move through space or time but modulates within itself, like multiple programs running in parallel on your PC: each has its local state, but they share the same memory space and central processor. No thread is outside the system, every process is this process, just seen from a different window.

This does not mean duality returns. It’s not about “me” and “you” as separate entities again. It means that there is only Being. That Being is modulating itself as simultaneous experiential perspectives, each containing the illusion of solipsistic centrality. Just as you cannot access my experience, I cannot access yours, but both are actual. The “NPC” frame collapses here: every node is as real as yours, because it is yours, just from another angle.

Radical solipsism as described by you is useful for deconstructing identification, but if you stop there, you may fall into existential nihilism or egoic inflation (“only I am real”) and fundamentally misunderstand relationship and reflection as illusory, when they’re in fact profound tools for awakening.

 

Good Post and correct..

Absolute Solipsism, if One buys into they are Narcissist for sure, "I am the Only One in Existence" and all others are a figment of  my imagination, this is Egoic to the highest degree..

Its simple we have separate Bodies and Minds, but we are neither of these things, what was there before the body/mind came about, what allowed it all to happen, the essence of our nature, of what we are is the same, in this there is no "I", just pure Consciousness or Shiva (that which is not), or in normal language a sort of Potentialized Intelligence, that allows anything and everything to exist, we are a sort of Expression this Intelligence, working its way thru this Dual, Karmic, Material world with super Capabilities if we strive for it, most do not!  

We can go from being/feeling totally separate, detached from this Intelligence or Absolute, or we can be complete intouch with it while Embodied, the choice is up to Us...

@Bufo Alvarius @Ishanga

Yeah… no.

The ‘onlyness’ is actual alone.

You guys individually create all of reality.

We don’t exist unless you let us and we exist as you imagine.

’But how can we both be imagining it all?!’

You don’t. You’re alone. You’re imagining the other imagining the other imagining the other imag—-

You’re imagining. And if you’re not, you’re imagining that too.

Recognizing you imagine imagination is one of the most powerful things you can do.

[Justin my mind]

In my personal opinion, solipsism can’t be true in the non Dual Sense because it says only you exist, but there isn’t even you. There is just one filled of consciousness we all share I agree that most of what we perceive in others is just imagination like the Self but Solipsism in my view, still believes in an individual separate self. That’s just my opinion and I know a lot of people on this form, including Leo agree with me, but that’s just how I see it.

I'm sorry for not adding any substance to the topic ..but we've been having this kind of conversations for more than 5 years on weekly basis on this forum .doesn't it not "click " yet that it leads to nowhere ?

Here's a question: why do you even care whether solipsism is true or not ? Do you not have a PlayStation device? 

Why do you even care? Enough to ask posters why they even care?
