Solipsism as a hallmark of consciousness

You don't need 2 to define 1, you just need 1.

That's where you're wrong. Everything is relative. You cannot define "up" without "down".

Your experience as the Absolute is fundamentally beyond space and time

Yes, but it's not some ethereal realm, it's your experience right now, I'm perfectly conscious how my current "human experience" transcends space and time

"Your experience right now", if it is limited to right here, right now (and whatever colors, sensations, experiences you associate with it), does not transcend space and time. Space and time is exactly what is meant by "right here, right now". But if your experience right here right now is part of (or at One with) something greater, and this thing transcends space and time, then you can look at what is right here and right now and feel that it is part of this larger thing. But that does not mean that the right here right now is all that there is. It's all that there is right here right now.

You're trying to claim something limited as unlimited when you say "these limited things are the only things that exist, and this is Absolute". The Absolute is unlimited.

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

It’s a bit more nuanced I would say.

It’s less about believing in other minds, but more about the recognition that all minds are manifestations of a single, Unified Consciousness. 

Mind is One- it can’t be any other way

It does, does it have a size or duration ? 

It's not in space or time, space and time are in it, they're imaginary, part of experience, not the other way around

It's infinite and eternal, you've been reading this forever

That's meant to say that whatever is there is there.

To claim that things that aren't there are there would be false.

I don't think this is complicated.

This post is true if it exists, even if it referred to falsehood. If I didn't post, then to claim that the post exists would be false.

Non-existent stuff doesn't exist, so anything that exists does exist.

You got it. Whatever is in your experience is all that exists and anything else is just some thought you are thinking about. It's very simple and direct.

Its really simple.  Everyone is right here.  Absolute and relative is also a duality that can collapse!   It can be realized (don't believe me) that this field of Consciousness..this..right now..is all that exists.  You're not really a human its just a field of Consciousness imagining it is a human and that there are other humans with their own minds and that you are a biological creature with his own mind.  Thats all an illusion.  It is just Mind. One Mind or a single field of Consciousness and this is it.  There is nothing behind the scenes.  Nothing needs to be. That simply needs to be imagined by this Consciousness. 

So..to say your grandmother isnt having her own experience right now is accurate., but at the same time you as her grandson also are not having your own experience.  "Your own" , your suggests a you and a me. A self and other.  There is just Experience.   Just like there is really no perception or perceiver there is just Being or Isness.

No self is really the initial awakening one can have but no other is also an awakening one can have.  

Is this Solipsism?  That's just a word. But the point is that tbis thing..this Consciousness right now..is all there is.  From this one Consciousness everything "else" can be created.  A universe..galaxies.  People, places, things.  And a you! 😀 All of that is the backstory.

Perfectly said.

This insight can only be extrapolated backwards after being directly conscious of this first. Money cannot buy this gem of an insight. There's no going back after you unlock this realization. It's worth way more than a million dollars.

Nice.

Indeed, solipsists are still stuck on the subject of the subject-object relation. Like "my" mind and "my" experience, when there actually isn't.

There is no experience of something that has no experience, but on the flipside there is also no experience of something that has an experience. Solipsism gets stuck on the latter.

Solipsism relatively is a concept - it relies on presuppositions. Inside, outside. I, other.

Forget about others, minds, etc, I'm saying you're omniscient. What you're conscious of right now, you reading these words, is all of reality

Right, with the caveat that experience doesn't actually have any finite contents, since I am the infinite appearing as all the contents.

Therefore, there aren't things for me to know since I am all the things.

Like she said, solipsism tends to have lots of dualistic suppositions, like inside and outside, which wouldn't actually affect that which is aware of it.

Consciousness is self-aware

The experience of reading these words, that you're aware "of", is your self, and that is all of reality

You cannot grasp solipsism as a concept without some split; dualism. My mind Other minds. Inside. Outside. The concept of solispism can never be if you forget all. Never known.
