How a Solipsist walks down the street and perceives reality

[OBEler]

 

Good video I want to share.

[UnbornTao]

Yep, BS. Stop believing in yourself first.

[Dazgwny]

You say bs. But if you are god, I’d like to understand where you believe him to be wrong on this matter? Because god is everything, and you are god, so what exactly is the bs he’s talking here? I don’t know if you subscribe to god being infinite imagination, whether you’ve had awakenings or not? I’m just interested in what bs you assume he is talking

When you go to non dual therapist and you just leave with worse self esteem than you came

I understand it's hard not to hear that as a negative, but it is not about making yourself wrong or starting a war between two aspects of yourself, so to speak. You're perfectly fine.

The place where these things come from, however, is a fantastical world of one's own making. It's mere philosophy. Like, I bet my money the guy on the video has a solid sense of self to which he's attached, like everyone else.

I thought it was funny … yes I agree with you . Its almost an intuition, self recognize self, how we sometimes can sense if someone is speaking from a place of having a self like most of us or is genuinely speaking from “another place”(place of no place). Not that it’s necessarily important because I agree we should be concerned with ourselves first and foremost (in healthy way, I know what u meant originally, spiritually, ). But maybe if we can recognize clearly duality it’s a step towards recognizing non duality (now I’m just philosophizing) …

"You" have never walked down any street.

[Hojo]

To awaken you might have to shit on yourself but I think after you awaken you can learn to be confident again. I think you are supposed to do that but I dunno.

Yeah, maybe. I'd also add that it is possible to discover the truth for oneself, and being a 'special' person is not necessary at all - just in case that's assumed, which is an easy trap to fall into. I appreciate that you admit that it's essentially just mental masturbation.

If you are god, why you can't fly?

This question stems from misunderstanding.

You are God AND exactly what you are right now. And it’s perfect. The need to be able to fly is just an idea you have.

@UnbornTao Remember that Ramana was a solipsist

.

So, you, who are God, have limitations like not being able to fly? Because that's perfect. And how do you know it? . I honestly don't understand why, being God, I can't pass through walls that I myself am creating. And really I'm not aware of the fact that I'm creating those walls or why there are walls. If you could explain it to me, I would appreciate it. 

Consider the possibility that you are not creating those walls. Just the possibility that there is not creator and creation

@Breakingthewall, in your normal state, you cannot fly. But once you lose your human state, nothing would be stopping you.

No one here is talking while being in that God state, because it's impossible to be in that state and be in the human state at the same time.

Funnily enough, I was writing about this exact point somewhere else: that he, in fact, was not. He was attempting to facilitate the truth he was actually conscious of. Night-and-day difference. The problem is that the profundity of this principle still eludes us. It's a difference that is all too easily missed. We may genuinely think the Buddha was a Buddhist. It isn't even about solipsism or any other particular belief system per se. 

This is not merely a matter of semantics, either.
