How to see solipsism as positive thing

[theoneandnone]

Ego sees it as terrifying i am trying to implement how good it is. I just realized my whole life all the love and support is me loving me. It’s just kinda awkward talking to other people because I’m talking to myself lol but clearly my consciousness is good at playing all the parts. I’m trying to become so Infused with my consciousness to feel love and happiness within myself. My ego is pissed off it wanted to be separated with other egos but it’s not gonna get that. This feels absolutely fucking maddening this is nuts but maybe I did this to find myself in who I’ve been searching all along. I feel it’s rare Leo frames solipsism as something pretty  it’s usually terrifying but then he said one time “You are so alone that you are together” I’m just trying to make sense of all of this to experience love and happiness and enjoy talking to others as myself. Right now I see it as Hell and a desire to run and escape but where would I go! LOL

I just counted 4 threads on this topic on this subforum created by you - can we try to consolidate this? 

I understand you are grappling with a belief. 

I don't see a need for so many seperate threads

@theoneandnone I do not think you have actually had direct consciousness of solipsism. I think you are taking this on as a belief or worldview. This is a big mistake. If you are very honest with yourself you should notice that you actually do not know if solipsism is true. You think it is true because Leo said so. But this is wrong. This is not what real Awakening entails. Real Awakening feels very good for the most part. If you are feeling negative then I doubt you had any Awakening at all. If there was no Awakening then all you have are ideas of Awakening, which I promise you are wrong.

This work is about pursuing whatever is true. You are happy with truth regardless with what it is. You love truth. If you feel bad about truth then something is wrong. Either you do not have consciousness of truth or you are attached to ideas of how reality should be rather than how it is.

Look at this:

If you love truth, if solipsism is truth, you must love solipsism.

Rather than obsessing over solipsism, I suggest you focus on loving Truth. Whatever is True, love that. That's the real spiritual work.

This is why I deleted the solipsism video. Because I knew people would have these problems.

I suggest you forget about solipsism and focus on other aspects of your life. You are too mentally hung up on it.

Notice this: if you just sit down and look around you, around the room, and don't think any weird thoughts, what you see is infinitely beautiful Consciousness and nothing is wrong. Sit and be happy. Stop inventing problems. "But Leo, I need my friends and parents to be real! Blah, blah, blah..." No! You don't! You don't need anything. Just sit and be happy. There is nothing wrong with the present moment. There is nothing wrong with Consciousness exactly as it is. Sit, look at Consciousness, and admire its beauty.

Do that!

Stop overthinking about people not being real. People are irrelevant. Consciousness is Perfect and Beautiful. You do not need any human to be happy in the present moment. If you were the only thing in existence you could be perfectly happy just sitting there.

When you interact with others, stop imagining that they are philosophical zombies. Just interact with them normally as a child would. Stop telling yourself, "But they aren't real. But there's no one home. But this is fake."

You are lost in overthinking. Stop thinking and notice there is nothing wrong at all. Notice that all the wrongness is created by your thoughts. Just cut those thoughts off. Don't let them play out endlessly. You have to learn to cut off thoughts when they are counter-productive.

I will work on this and take your advice I am sorry for spamming your forum. I will try to back off I have severe ocd and I’ve been being a lot lately. I’m sorry.

@theoneandnone No need to apologise - no harm no foul!

More some housekeeping. Solipsism is a big topic here so feel free to keep bumping the shit out of one of your threads.

Tons of users want to hash the topic out
