Someone here

But I don't want to be clueless about the world I live in .I want to understand political issues too.

I know I'm contradicting myself a lot about this solipsism stuff...but please guys hear me out ..I think I finally got a grip on the truth about solipsism. You see ..I'm conscious right now ..I'm conscious..that Is undeniable. But others are literally images in my consciousness. I know I'm looking through my eyes ..but no one is looking through other's eyes because that's not in direct experience. You see? If consciousness is fundamental to reality and consciousness is everything then there is no escaping the solipsistic implications of this. I don't know who I'm talking to right now. But it replies so it's fun... I guess ..so there is absolutely zero point in making this thread. Once you know the truth you will shut up forever and maybe go live in a cave a lone in your solipsistic bubble of god consciousness. I mean I struggle to accept this but Sorry to break it to you ..as God..you have absolute consciousness. You and I are not "alive" at the same time. Both of our lifetimes were imagined at once and then God decided to watch them like films..one frame at a time. You are god imagining everything into bein.gretroactively past and future. The present moment is one and has always existed. Think of this. Really contemplate what "others " are .

@Inliytened1 lock it please .

You know what guys ...to hell with it Fucking lock this goddam thread .

What If you could know definitively? Why aren't you open to that possibility? Its actually very simple if you think about it ..I'm just words on a screen for you right now .dead brute words .mere words .mere qualia within your consciousness. Your consciousness is absolute. And it's the only thing that exists. @Sincerity fair enough. Have a nice one 👍

Don't worry I'm in such a good state of consciousness right now that I have literally magical energy to endure sleepless nights. Fuck sleeping. We spend half of our lives sleeping .better use that Time into something useful like contemplating. Of course(in both senses ).

@Sincerity HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW? Don't assume that you know more than me . You might not . You don't know me .you don't know if I'm awake or not . I'm actually extremely conscious of amazing things ..and I consider myself awake . That doesn't mean I know everything. That's why I keep on changing my worldview every weekend. Because I'm working so hard and wracking my mind over existential questions....I literally didn't sleep for three days now contemplating solipsism. Please just stop attacking me personally or I will have no other choice but to report you to Leo. Because you are being extremely disrespectful.

@Sincerity bro please enough personal attacks . I get that you don't like me . But please stop abusing your power as a mod and stop attacking me and calling me ignorant and so forth . This Is not expected from a mod.

@Carl-Richard keep playing these intellectual games and you will never awaken. Yes . Others appear as if they are conscious. But is that enough evidence that they are conscious? People in your dreams also appear to be conscious..does that make them conscious? Yes you talk and others talk . You eat and others eat .you go to the bathroom and others go to the bathroom etc. You did not definitively prove that others are having a conscious experience because the same behaviour happens from others in your dream (all these correlations you mentioned). Solipsism is one of the most powerful Epistemological positions. And yes it minimises unnecessary assumptions. Which makes it all more powerful . You have not disproved it yet in the slightest. I don't understand what you are saying here . What assumptions are the solipsist making ? It's self-evident that you are having a conscious experience and that everything (including objects ..time ..space..others etc) have no reality or substance outside of your experience. You close your eyes..the visual field goes poof . You go to sleep ..the entire universe goes poof . Are you Peter Ralston's son ?

Noted ✅

Absolutely correct. 💯 I will consider opening a journal. I will also lessen the amount of my threads in this section .

No not me . YOU Is the one who shouldn't give a fuck . Read my post ..you agree then cool..you disagree.. also cool. There is no need to call me out on my BS even if you see it as utter BS . I like to share my thoughts with people here .I enjoy doing that . And I apologise if it misleads people who are serious about spiritual work. Absolutely not . Criticize me all you want . But you don't appreciate that when you share something you authentically believe in then people attack you ...it does demotivate me from considering to share more insights . Just say you disagree and move in .no need to call me deliberately delusional. That doesn't feel good .

I don't know what the fuss is about. I'm innocently sharing my contemporary insights ..If it doesn't resonate with you then ignore it and move on and don't listen to a philosophy that doesn't resonate with you. Why making it personal?

OK no worries. Thanks for your opinion. While I don't agree with what you're saying but thanks for the feedback. I can't change your mind about me.

@OBEler with all honesty..I have no idea what is he talking about.

@Carl-Richard enough fooling around . answer me this: how many conscious beings in existence are ?. 1-zero. 2-one 3- billions.

There is no "their reality". Their reality =you believing that they have a reality . They Don’t. I don't exist . I'm just your own mind talking to you . This is a monologue rather than a dialogue. What happens to people in your dreams at night after you wake up ? I think we agree .

My bad then . Please if interested ask whatever you want..I'm enjoying this conversation and it's a good learning opportunity.

My deal is very clear my love..but you are purposely trying to let it in one ear out of the other ... If you want to deconstruct concepts like space ..time ..the self..the whole fucking universe..sure ....but why don't you deconstruct the notion that other people who you see around you don't have an inner experience of reality (call it subjective experience or qualia or vanilla ice cream etc it doesn't matter )..? It's as simple as this " this right here is ALL That exists . There is no self & no other . You seem to get the no self part .but do you get the no other part ?

OK so we agree that others don't exist as agents with subjective experience.

@OBEler if you want to deconstruct reality then have some balls to deconstruct others . Don't just stop at deconstructing time and space and the sense of self behind the eyes etc . It's either all or nothing . There is no middle ground. Either you don't exist as well as others or everything exists . And btw you cannot experience reality without concepts because "reality " itself must be a concept (a word or verbal description). If you do this correctly you should just remain vegetated and silent.

@Carl-Richard let's say you are looking at an object like say a chair..is there really a 'you ' plus 'looking ' plus 'chair' or are these boundaries constructions in thoughts?

Exactly. Very beautiful my friend ❤.

I've struggled with intense anxiety and depression in 2021 because of the quarantine...and I still from time to time feel like shit . I see a therapist..i take SSRI’S and while that does help partially..how I managed my thinking process is what made all these symptoms disappear. So I actually want to share a technique of meditation🧘‍♂ that helps with negative thinking and negative feelings . And it's very very very simple : Just watch them. Let them come..let them do their worst.. let them drive you crazy and you don't care,..let them. But don't you try to stop them ..let them. Just surrender 100%. do nothing and watch what happens. You're actually just doing just absolute zero. You've turned yourself off and you have the attitude of: even if I die right now..so what? It doesn't matter. Even if my worst fear manifests..good.. let it. It seems difficult. But it's not really.. it seems difficult but it's easy if you do it.. try it. Get by yourself and just sit down..put your hands together and do absolutely nothing. Don't tell yourself you're watching or you're practicing anything at all. Give all practices up, give it all up. This will send you into amazing levels of peace and serenity. Watch this video by Eckhart Tolle to have a better understanding: https://youtu.be/FbQr70rfwQg?si=e2G-qF-E4cRxNAwy

It does but when you stop assuming you know what I know and what I'm just spouting as Leo ass kisser parrot . In my mind ...I'm totally enlightened and you can't gaslight me about this . @ivankissAll states are temporary. They come and go. If enlightened was a state.. It would be temporary. And it would not be worth "getting" since you can't get it anyway. @OBElerWhy can't you just awaken right now ? What's stopping you ? Do you think more meditation is necessary ? Do you think you need to clear your mind more ? Do you think you need to activate a specific chakra ? Do you think it's necessary to self inquire for months ? Bullshit! All of it. Enlightenment is your natural state of being. Everything is already enlightened. All is well. It's the seeking that veils it. Just like thinking that you need money or sex to be happy in life.. The same goes for thinking you need to blast off on psychedelics to be who you already are. You will be chasing your tail FOREVER
