Solipsism as a hallmark of consciousness

[Loveeee]

When someone talks about spirituality, I automatically try and determine if the person believes in other minds

If they do, they're too lost in imagination for my taste, not realizing that God is you, nothing more, nothing less

If they don't they've got my attention

If solipsism was a country I'd nuke it.

[Sincerity]

There’s truth to that. I agree.

That's an extremely high bar though.

You might as well dismiss everyone.

The answer to the deeper truths are always paradoxical. So yes and no, both and none.

If you lean only into oneness, you miss the expression. If you lean only into separation, you miss the source.

"What is and what is not create each other." Reality is a Trinity / 1 + 1 = 3

The mind will never grasp it, for I am older than the world - The Tao that can be told is not the Eternal Tao.

Thus why Buddha invented (the middle way). Its not this or that, its this AND that.

I was going to point this out in my own twisted words but yours are far more succint.

I would have said 'Okay, but you will end up jabbering to only yourself locked in a room'

"But my grandma doesn't exist when I close my eyes" 🐒

Honestly, one of the very few that gets it. I applaud you.

But I will give my dry formulation of the same thing: whether minds exist or not outside your field of view, is a relative matter. The Absolute ultimately doesn't care. Therefore, to invoke the Absolute to say that minds do not exist outside your field of view, is a misunderstanding.

Isn’t it hilarious that you judge whether other people are awake or not by whether they believe other people believe in other people?
