Someone here

@Nahm what's funny about the statement you quoted?

Maybe, I don't know.

@The0Self you cannot falsify solipsism can you?

Can someone explain to me what's the difference between God realization and solipsism?

I think it's the opposite. I haven't stumbled across a teaching more radical than Jim Newman's teaching. I think he would say that God realization is what it is and it doesn't matter to the liberated individual. In short.. It doesn't matter that you are God constructing reality from the liberated pov. Because nothing really matters.

It can't be interpreted. It's direct manifestation.

@Tim R congrats for the mod upgrade bro ?

It's literally an unexplainable miracle that anything exist at all. Try to get that

Now I'm craving chocolate ?

@The0Self I was just teasing you. I really like your posts. seems authentic

Do you ever just sit back and wonder "what the hell am I talking about"? ?

Only you can answer it. If you don't know who you are.. How do you expect other people to know lol?

Imagination is reality though.

@Tyler Durden how do you know that you are 'awake'? Describe your awakening.

I don't understand what does the "thought I" have to do with whether reality has a beginning or not

If there was a beginning you have to ask what came before the beginning. And it will lead to infinite regress. You just have no choice but to accept that reality is eternal.

I'm not conscious that I did design my own brain. What if I don't buy this whole God story? At least you can be sure that the brain exists and how it works. But not about its origin and "who" created it.

What do you mean then?

There wasn't a "first" thing. There was no beginning to existence.

Exactly. I agree with this. Which should answer the question of "why people deny that they are not free despite the evidence".

Obviously there is NOT only "you" if by "you" we mean the human avatar.

@Mason Riggle I didn't say randomness equals freedom. The opposite of freedom is deterministic. The universe is random and chaotic. Not free. And not deterministic. it's a third option. So people can be faced with tons of evidence and still not accept it. They can deny that. Because it's not a deterministic universe where(B) must follow (A).

You see.. This can only be true if free will exists. The assumption that certain input necessarily leads to certain output. But as you might know the universe is random and chaotic (not deterministic) . You can be faced with tons of evidence and still not accept it. Because randomness and uncertainty are essential to how reality works. It's not a linear process.

They have no free will in the matter
