How is sitting in a room narcissistic? Maybe I don’t understand. Sitting in a quiet room does simple and pure, don’t it? However, I wouldn’t judge something too fast. I assume you haven’t done it. I haven’t done it, so I really can’t say, but it seems fascinating to experience almost total silence. Most people I know cannot sit in total silence with their own minds. Even studies show that people prefer to be shocked than to sit for 15 mins with their own thoughts. If you can do this quiet room while being totally in bliss and no desire for anything else, then you have “accomplished” something most humans haven’t. You have found a happiness most cannot even dream of. Doing this while in pain and suffering is a whole other level. What are the goals relative to? Why do you use your mind at all? It is all for your survival as an ego. Pretty much everything you do is to survive as an ego. Take note of all of what you do and all your goals and really ask whether it is in your self-interest or not. It is all dependent on your ego, your self-identity. What doesn’t make sense?

I am not sure what you mean by infinite consciousness when putting it with the first part of your quote. If by infinite consciousness, you mean something other or outside of your field of experience, then I would challenge you to reexamine that.

I believe this was the part of the quote I disagreed with. Can you see it now? Sense of other is written all over it.

No problem. Wish you the best. What if it isn’t? What if the imagination of other minds/bubbles is the duality, and solipsism unites all minds into the one mind? Nice one lol. But how do you know anything beyond your own mind? Anything beyond your mind is in your mind. Took me a while to deconstruct that one. That is what I mean by solipsism. Correct. No belief is true. Belief is what we do when we don’t know what is true. I would agree. This is the limits of language and my part in communication. I don’t perceive this “bubble” as finite. The bubble is so infinite that you cannot call it a bubble anymore. When you deconstruct all other bubbles, you also deconstruct your own, and you realize it is infinite. What I meant by bubbles is “other” minds or fields of experiences that you imagine. There is only one experience. I don’t prefer using the concept “bubble” when describing consciousness because “bubble” implies finiteness of “something being beyond the bubble. I prefer to use the term “field of experience.” There is only one field of experience right now and it isn’t a belief. The field of experience is actuality and anything beyond it is imagination.

You forgot the rest of your quote.

I encourage you not to accept anything on this forum. Some of the stuff on here can be really intense. If the content here on this forum is bothering you, I would encourage taking a break from some of the content and meet some of your other needs on the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. A lot of this stuff is for people who want to deconstruct their sense of reality. From what I am hearing, it sounds like at this stage in your life now, you are not ready for this intense work yet. And that is not a bad thing. Take a break and do things you enjoy doing, and forget about this truth-seeking bullshit. Truth and philosophy/spirituality can be very dangerous and aren’t for everyone. Hoping for your best, Rocky ❤️??

What is a great achievement? Being able to fall in love with reality and to find and live with independent and inner-happiness with needing absolutely nothing is one of the greatest achievements I can think of. What else is achieving things for other than to raise your happiness? However, I think these videos are pointing to something beyond achievement. I don’t really see love for reality as an achievement because achievement is ego-based and is future and goal-oriented. I think of Love as acceptance and pure satisfaction with reality completely as it is with no desire to change it to suit your needs. It does not matter who sits the longest in the quiet room. What really matters is the level, perspective, and state of mind from which they sit in the room. That’s the bias of our society/culture. We place quantity over quality.

❤️?? You got this. Keep going. At least it sounds like you gave your dog the best life possible which to me is what matters the most. To me, it is not about how long we live, but how deep we have loved.

Pretty much all of them except from @Gili Trawangan, @Leo Gura, and @GreenWoods All the rest seem to misunderstand solipsism and oneness as separate. They are one. Of course these are quotes, which are taken out of context and can be easily misinterpreted. That is why I stated that no communication is absolute truth. All communication is relative. True solipsism or true oneness is found through introspection, not communicating. Although, communication can help motivate and inspire people to self-reflect. So it is not all one-sided.

We are all dying. Some of us are truly living. I’m sorry for your loss. Hang in there. God isn’t separate from you. You are God dreaming up a human experience. What about your dream characters at night? Don’t they have feelings too? Surely they aren’t fictitious. If so, where do you draw the lines between this dream and your dreams last night? Wish you well on your path.

There is no time. There is no soul. There is no other. Unless you are God-aware right now, your awakenings are imaginary. Go further. You got this. ??

Hey now. Be kind to yourself. ??

How do you know it was a trap? What if inference of and imagination of other minds is a trap? The only thing that you can know is that you exist. Everything else is inference, story, concept, and belief. That is solipsism. And it is true. Now, just figure out who the hell you are existentially. What can help is contemplating what “other” is and how “other” is constructed or created. Other minds are created by your own mind. All bubbles and minds you imagine outside of your mind are inside your mind. Even your own mind is created by your own mind. How about that for a mindjob?

Most of these quotes don’t understand what oneness means or what solipsism really means. There are no others. There are no other bubbles. That is solipsism. That is awakening. All others and bubbles are a complete mental construction within the dream. The ego is nothing but the identification of being something separate from the bubble. The field of experience isn’t the ego, it is God. The ego is the separations you imagine. Reality is literally a dream. The ego is the separation from “other” constructions in the dream. There is only one “headless” field. There is only one dreamer. These dream characters and their quotes still have a subtle sense of other. In which case means they have not gone all the way. Therefore, their quotes and insights are incomplete and not absolute truth. You won’t find absolute truth from a communication. You find it within yourself. Communication is how you remain asleep. Introspection is how you awaken. Fear is a good indicator that you are approaching truth. If it makes your ego feel good, it is not the truth but a way to keep you asleep. Go beyond the fear. The ego fears solipsism. Start to wonder why. You will find your answer there. Edit: By the way, there are no souls. Notice how you feel from this comment and start to wonder what you are really afraid of, specifically when it comes to solipsism.

Exactly. How so? After discovering what is true, what is greater than being totally at peace and happy with absolutely nothing. Most people need something to be happy. The greatest sages need nothing. That is true happiness. EDIT: Just because you become enlightened or Truth-realized, does not mean that you have reached the highest levels of human development and potential. It is one thing to realize Truth, it is another thing to practice it and live from it.

?❤️?????

That’s why I said that all of this is an ego game. If you are truly awakened, the only reason why you would share it or talk to others about it is to put yourself back to sleep. Think about that. Of course, I am writing this message to remind myself of that. My whole day is constructed to keep myself asleep. What makes this any different? It is just me entertaining myself from the void. That’s what this is.

No. You are asking yourself these questions over and over again to pull yourself back into the illusion. That’s why I said that all of this is an ego game.

You/I got it.

Go on. Why are you obsessed with it? Why do you dream of other people being obsessed with solipsism? You already know the answer. The illusion is other. Your very ego is constructed and heavily dependent on a sense of other. Now that other is deconstructed, your ego is also deconstructed. There are no others who are obsessed.

What if sharing is the ego's defense mechanism to keep itself asleep? Of course, the irony is that me posting all this is my own self-deception and defense mechanism. I am gonna get off now lol! See, this is how tricky this devil is. But at the same time, what else is there to do but to enjoy the dream.

Consciousness is playing a game with itself right now. Become skeptical of the dream characters claiming they have awoken. Only the dreamer can awaken. After awakening is when you become the most susceptible to falling right back into a deeper sleep. For instance, I had a dream once where I realized I was in a dream. It was a lucid dream. After waking up from my lucid dream, I told my mom about my lucid dream last night. The self-deceptions that construct a dream are so powerful that I soon discovered that I dreamt the entire thing of me waking up and telling my mom about my lucid dream/awakening. And guess what? I am still dreaming now. Now, how is my lucid dream self-deception experience similar to what I see going on here?

How can we know the difference? It is more like you forgot that you wrote the script for other characters you created to act real to fool yourself into thinking they are real so that you can keep dreaming.

There are no others. Nothing matters. Even awakening does not matter. Why do you think you put yourself to sleep in the first place? It only matters when you say it does. Life is a game, a game it is playing with itself.

You are playing games with yourself. There is only one dreamer in the dream. All else is a story.
