How does that work for you? When I sit and meditate there is a rather emptiness or Neutral feeling like tranquility or something like that. Not really what we call happiness or excitement.

Mr. One liner.

@BipolarGrowth @BipolarGrowth try to notice that there is no difference between solipsism being true or not. Solipsism just isn't handy.. It just doesn't "work".. I mean you still have to obey the laws of physics and work your ass off to pay the bills.. There is no excuse for you because you are a solipsist who ?. Philosophically speaking.. It is neither provable nor disprovable. It's just a thought in your head.. So it can't possibly be "the Truth". At the end of the day your experience of life will be exactly the same whether your solipsist or not.... Only with being a solipsist you will feel lonely.. Depressed..and impractical.

Yes. However it's this impermanence thing and the endless future that gives the impression that the now is always lacking.... Because it seems like you are progressing towards somewhere right? You just aren't lol. You notice you are always dissatisfied with the now and imagining happiness and completeness in the future..... The endless future that never comes!

Nice point.

@wesyasz all you have is experience. When you talk about something not found in your experience.. That's belief.

Reincarnation is just beliefs and stories. What happens after death? You will die and know so why the hurry? Anything you can't see..touch.. Smell.. .. Taste.. Right now is a fairy tale.

We experience death every day in deep sleep.

Find a boyfriend.

IMO it's natural consequence of the universe's constant change. You are always becoming and never being.

@StateOfMind there ain't no one no where knows anything about anything. We're all full of shit. Good luck sir.

@BipolarGrowth try to notice that there is no difference between solipsism being true or not.

Yes that's solipsism 101. But regardless that doesn't mean "Leo" is solipsist because Leo doesn't exist. That's why "he" contradicts himself. @BipolarGrowth I have a question... Why is this question important?

Me ofcourse. You are God ffs.. You really think you need some Guru to guide you? Who the fuck are you kidding?

By "objective" I mean it exists independently of you being conscious of it. For example our shared earth exists independently of you or me perceiving It. While the earth that you see in your dreams only exists for you while you are dreaming it up.. And doesn't exist for me and for other 7 billions of people. Note not stating that as a "fact". But at least that's what you temporarily assume regarding the waking earth and the earth in your dreams. Good point.

@rajputaman04 hey isn't that my reply question to Leo? You copy paste it word by word? Wtf?

Sorry not sure what you mean that dreams are thoughts.

It doesn't exist for you if you define existence as what you are directly conscious of right now. (I don't see why would you define it that way. You definitely don't act from this perspective.) Yet it exists for itself and for other conscious beings. So open up that possibility. It cannot be said for certain that's for sure. The best thing is to remain agnostic about such questions and adopt a pragmatic answer. Otherwise you will lose it in solipsism which is another word for madness.

Yes and no ofcourse.

As far as language that assumes an "other." I think it's ridiculous to police ourselves to such a degree that we avoid any reference to "individual other." I think you are limiting yourself to a great degree. I mean if you want to get down to it.. simply responding and writing responses on a forum equally assumes that there is an "individual other" as much as any other post even if you are careful about how you write. That being said.. I am not making that criticism of anyone or illusion of ego... I'm only pointing out the hypocrisy of even bringing up that criticism in the first place when you are on a forum interacting. I'm NOT interested in having this conversation about language and the implicit assumptions held within the normal way we communicate. . I think this is definitely not what I created this thread for..so it is off topic. if you have something regarding dreams and whatnot go ahead. Otherwise have a nice one.

Have you been skeptical about your own skepticism? It goes full circle and eats itself up. It won't change that you are you and not your mom. Apparently at least as experienced. You can imagine yourself to be a table.. But if someone comes and cuts the table into halfs you won't be affected at all..if someone come and cuts the Gesundheit avatar into halfs.. The real you will freak the fuck out.

Enjoy.

How do you know? Just nonsense. You clearly define yourself as the physical body. You don't go around confusing yourself with your mom don't you?

Welllllll whatever..... Life is life. Dreams are dreams. Tomato is tomatoes. To say life is a dream like saying tomatoes are actually potatoes. They are of the same origin but apparently they aren't. Get that? Cool. Now that doesn't really say anything about anything
