How I perceive solipsism ?

[The Buddha]

I like to see it in a much healthier way. In the sense that it is progressive. I feel that my "I" is the same as the I of the people I know, then with animals, plants... Then this beingness is beyond my personal "point" of existance and it's what it connects me with everything and everyone. Instead of being in a delusive and losing touch with reality, solipsm can become the highest grounding technique, to love all as yourself, to see yourself in all.

I used to say: I cannot see myself, in the sense I cannot kiss my own cheek, but everywhere I see, I just see myself, I am all those things. It's like those beautiful torus field, with eyes everywhere. Just try this little exercice with me, try to see inside the eye of your vision, after trying you arrive to a point where you cannot go more behind. So you cannot see the one who is seeing, however now when you see outside you recognise all that as yourself

 

[Matthew85]

@The Buddha More and more as my awareness has expanded, these are my experiences as well.

This above video explains what I wanted to say about solipsism. Can someone please tell me if Leo's take is actually different from this? And how?

@VivaldoTo not know for sure if other people are conscious is not solipsism.

The more 'degrees' you assign to the idea of solipsism the less meaningful the idea becomes.

You can either know or believe that you are the only one of the many seemingly existent people that are actually having a conscious experience, Leo claims that he knows. I don't think you can know (well I can't by definition, so far as you're concerned), but as far as we allow some skeptical imagination it is "possible" for you to know.

There are many ways of contextualizing the metaphysics of solipsism, but that does not mean there are many different ones.
