because you can make a video of a chair and the delete the video it doesn't mean there is no chair Similarly the mind has memory. That's the video As soon as you look at something a frame has been recorded in your mind and many more follow

a) you created the whole Universe b) nothing exists unless you imagine it. c) nothing exists but yourself. __________________________________________________________________ Are any of the above statements Solipsism ?

might be true but there where 3 recent threads about it. But I think they are justified because they are talking about it from different angles

To say everything is imaginary is just as dogmatic as materialism. There needs to be a balance

The article and book are more oriented toward the psychology of human nature rather than a philosophical analysis. What happened was some literary and philosophical ideas had biased a more objective observation on the reality of human behavior.

You might want to read this article. He has a whole book on this blank slate concept in 2002 which is well written called The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature He considers it a romanticized concept along with the "noble savage". Both of these ideas have a literary history. You may not agree with his opinion but this is food for thought and he has many examples of these ideas in different forms and time periods, going into detail and psychology. The above quote doesn't really do justice to the whole article and book. I takes a while to develop the point

such statements are devilry to love is to care not to accept everything

When Leo dies he taking us all down with him, We only exist because we're only a part of his imagination either that or he was babbling out of his mind

Empiricism Empiricism is the theory that the origin of all knowledge is sense experience. It emphasizes the role of experience and evidence, especially sensory perception, in the formation of ideas, and argues that the only knowledge humans can have is a posteriori (i.e. based on experience). Most empiricists also discount the notion of innate ideas or innatism (the idea that the mind is born with ideas or knowledge and is not a "blank slate" at birth). The Scottish philosopher David Hume brought to the Empiricist viewpoint an extreme Skepticism. He argued that all of human knowledge can be divided into two categories: relations of ideas (e.g. propositions involving some contingent observation of the world, such as "the sun rises in the East") and matters of fact (e.g. mathematical and logical propositions), and that ideas are derived from our "impressions" or sensations. In the face of this, he argued that even the most basic beliefs about the natural world, or even in the existence of the self, cannot be conclusively established by reason, but we accept them anyway because of their basis in instinct and custom. John Stuart Mill, in the mid-19th Century, took Hume and Berkeley's reasoning a step further in maintaining that inductive reasoning is necessary for all meaningful knowledge (including mathematics), and that matter is merely the "permanent possibility of sensation" as he put it. This is an extreme form of Empiricism known as Phenomenalism (the view that physical objects, properties and events are completely reducible to mental objects, properties and events).

Metaphysical Solipsism is a type of Idealism which maintains that the individual self of an individual is the whole of reality, and that the external world and other persons are representations of that self and have no independent existence. Epistemological Solipsism is a type of Idealism according to which only the directly accessible mental contents of an individual can be known. The existence of an external world is regarded as an unresolvable question or an unnecessary hypothesis, rather than actually false. Methodological Solipsism is the epistemological thesis that the individual self and its mental states are the sole possible or proper starting point for philosophical construction. Therefore, all other truths must be founded on indisputable facts about an individual's own consciousness, and someone's beliefs about, say, water have absolutely nothing to do with the substance water in the outside world, but are determined internally.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism_syndrome#cite_note-Angelo1-1 Solipsism syndrome Solipsism syndrome refers to a psychological state in which a person feels that reality is not external to his or her mind. Periods of extended isolation may predispose people to this condition. In particular, the syndrome has been identified as a potential concern for individuals living in outer space for extended periods of time

Truth and actuality are both beliefs

The idea that "consciousness" is something other than a state of awareness in a living being with a brain, some kind of living awareness or substance of the entire universe is a religious belief

that's solipsism

If you say "everything" and you follow with "Is" and follow by any other word, that word becomes meaningless, such as "everything is imaginary". "Imaginary" only has meaning if reality also exists. If you say nothing is real that means nothing is real. It doesn't mean therefore "imaginary" exists. It just means "real" is a meaningless word as well as "imaginary" ( unless some things are really are real but we just don't have the ability to be sure)

. In the video Martin Ball does not say he is enlightened and if he did anybody could say they are enlightened .

Assuming enlightenment is real do you have a source where Martin Ball says he's enlightened?

would Spira agree with this statement "everything is imaginary" ?

what would David Blaine say?

The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental _______________________________________________________________________________ The Kybalion. The Seven Hermetic Principles. “The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these, understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open.” The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows: I. The Principle of Mentalism. II. The Principle of Correspondence. III. The Principle of Vibration. IV. The Principle of Polarity. V. The Principle of Rhythm. VI. The Principle of Cause and Effect. VII. The Principle of Gender. These Seven Principles will be discussed and explained as we proceed with these lessons. A short explanation of each, however, may as well be given at this point. The Kybalion I. The Principle of Mentalism. “The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental.” . This Principle embodies the truth that “All is Mind.” It explains that The All (which is the Substantial Reality underlying all the outward manifestations and appearances which we know under the terms of “The Material Universe”; the “Phenomena of Life”; “Matter”; “Energy”; and, in short, all that is apparent to our material senses) is Spirit, which in itself is Unknowable and Undefinable, but which may be considered and thought of as An Universal, Infinite, Living Mind. It also explains that all the phenomenal world or universe is simply a Mental Creation of The All, subject to the Laws of Created Things, and that the universe, as a whole, and in its parts or units, has its existence in the Mind of The All, in which Mind we “live and move and have our being.” This Principle, by establishing the Mental Nature of the Universe, easily explains all of the varied mental and psychic phenomena that occupy such a large portion of the public attention, and which, without such explanation, are non‑understandable and defy scientific treatment. An understanding of this great Hermetic Principle of Mentalism enables the individual to readily grasp the laws of the Mental Universe, and to apply the same to his well‑being and advancement. The Hermetic Student is enabled to apply intelligently the great Mental Laws, instead of using them in a haphazard manner. With the Master‑Key in his possession, the student may unlock the many doors of the mental and psychic temple of knowledge, and enter the same freely and intelligently. This Principle explains the true nature of “Energy,” “Power,” and “Matter,” and why and how all these are subordinate to the Mastery of Mind. One of the old Hermetic Masters wrote, long ages ago: “He who grasps the truth of the Mental Nature of the Universe is well advanced on The Path to Mastery.” And these words are as true to‑day as at the time they were first The Seven Hermetic Principles 11 written. Without this Master‑Key, Mastery is impossible, and the student knocks in vain at the many doors of The Temple.

it would make no difference

Solipsism is the position that the mind is the only thing that can be known to exist and that knowledge of anything outside the mind is unjustified. It is not, however, the same as Skepticism, the position that one should refrain from even making truth claims. see Skepticism at link > https://www.philosophybasics.com/branch_skepticism.html
