That's what spiritual awakening is like: a recontextualization of what's going on, as a pointless meaningless dream, where others do not exist outside your own mind. 

Would you say others don't even exist inside your own mind, or do they exist inside your own mind?

@Majed can you please tell us how exactly your awakening process unraveled. 

Was this based on prior experience with psychedelics? 

How long did this shift happen. Is it a baseline reality

According to Sadhguru, it was to escape religious persecution. Which if it's not the entire explanation, might be partially true, maybe more than we think. Regardless, y'all think it's some kind of spiritual requirement to sit in a damp ass cave 💀 Cultural confirmity.

Rare occasion: being able to understand your posts

That's interesting! I never thought of it this way.

Thanks.

I have this tendency where I tend to naturally try to imagine how reality is from someone else's perspective. I think it's based on this ability to "pick up" on others inner world activity, which is being emitted too more or less. So its just seems clear to me, yes they have an experience, but my own is still distinct and limited to what I am able to perceive. Something like that.

At some point I stopped trying to speak so damn "neutered" and be more free. Schizo would call it being phallic.

You mean being more shiva-like? Imagine if your whole being were associated with penis . That's some peak masculinity.

Less trying to speak to a child, more speaking coherently with what I have to say. If there is a word you don't understand, that's one Google search. That doesn't mean I will never explain or elaborate. But not every slightly mighty word every time it's used.

Maybe this is just our version of more "relaxed" expression, rational and sloppy expression can develop at same time I find

You need some Keryo Koffa in you. A truly phallic way of communicating

The symbol-depth (not tied to concept) style of communicating is familiar to me as a person with half bipolar genes. The tendency towards clanging is deep within me.

I think this is the literal definition of cognitive empathy, which is a feature of more developed species like us humans. I think it speaks more to emotional intelligence.

Solipsism never truly made sense in this light, because I tend to view others in a similar way by default. Not that I have thought much about it, although I did think about it briefly.
