I made the post about the myth of enlightenment because I’ve no idea what I’m talking about. There’s always just these words coming out of my mouth, that appear to make some sort of sense to me at least. Even though I don’t actually know anything about anything really, I just make it all up as I go along until I imagine I understand something I’ve said.
 

As for what you’ve just said there, you’ll have to try and explain to me what you mean by that comment because I’ve absolutely no idea what you’re saying to me. But then I don’t actually care anyway, so your comment is irrelevant really.

What I meant to say is that enlightenment is not a myth; it's basically breaking the energetic bubble inherent in being human, made of the need to be yourself.

Still don’t understand what you mean. But that doesn’t mean you don’t know what you mean, of course.

I understand only myself, because that’s the only self I’ve ever experienced. I have no interest in getting inside someone else’s self just to maybe hang out and have a Costa or something, I can do that with my cat, less confusing.

As you want but as you are talking in a forum I guess that you want to perceive other people, interact , communicate

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing here. I love to interact with other people, particularly on forums such as the likes of this one that support the idea of solipsism and other stuff like god and consciousness.

 I mean what else is there to do for one alone consciousness but to imagine an external world full of things? Even though consciousness already knows that the consciousness and content of consciousness are identically one and all the other things, even though they are just figments of the imagination. That’s the point, to dare to dream.

Could be. Communication and connecting with other minds gives a feeling of reality, life. Maybe that's why it's addictive

Solipsism explains everything you need to know about the problem of other minds. That’s the only subject, the problem of other minds, that makes any real tangible sense to me. But that’s just how I roll. It’s not for everyone.

It's the same if solipsism is true or not, if you don't think about it it's irrelevant. What is real is what you are, not the idea of how reality is. But anyway, tired of myself being smartass for today.
