A world existing outside of your experience is a category mistake! Let's assume that there is an outside world. If there is a thing that exists outside of your experience, it would immediately belong to some experiential category (e.g., visual, auditory, etc.) when you experience it. But how would you know that they exist? Because they become self-evident! Experience is self-evident, which means that the outside experience as a category doesn't exist. This doesn't mean you won't have different experiences, which points to a deeper aspect of your experience—that your experience is infinite. The infinite nature of experience is what creates the illusion of an outside!

@Carl-Richard, why do people from your nightly dreams not exist in waking reality? Where is the internal experience of people in your nightly dream in your waking reality? You obviously understand that those people in waking reality don't exist, as the structure of the nightly dream is different than your waking reality's structure, which is why their internal experience depends on whether you dream them or not. Only you have truly been conscious of your nightly dreams, dreaming that those people are having experiences. Your nightly dream is absolute because you're not dreaming something that has its same structure, which is why your waking reality is a dream as well. Your nightly dream's existence does not depend on your waking reality, and vice versa. If the structure of your nightly dreams was the same as your waking reality, you would have experienced one type of reality. This is not an interpretation, theory, assumption, or inference. You are ironically doing those. You are confused about this because you don't truly accept the directness of your experience, even if you say you do. Accepting that your experience is direct has its logical consequences.

What movie have you recently watched, or are you now watching? I have yet to finish watching the movie "The Irishmen".

You are experiencing the dreams, not them. Now, they don't exist because you're not dreaming them in this dream.

@Sugarcoat, I have given up. 😄 Look from another angle:

You think? They are. Not symbolically, but literally. Of course, when you dream them. This is the dream.

@JoshB, if only people had Love Awakening.

The directness of experience beautifully merges you with everything within your experience, as the existence of anything has been the prerequisite for your experience to be actual in the first place. This melts you! You become absolutely intimate with everything because they are you. This unification is Love itself! Absolute Solipsistic Love!

@r0ckyreed, the perception of the dog is a hallucination. Outside experience is a hallucination. A past or future experience is a hallucination. The above are about constructions based on your sensory fields. The coherency of your sensory fields is a hallucinated quality due to your sensory fields being a hallucination.

@Never_give_up, you can do it alone in a foreign country, but the level of anxiety will probably be too high.

Hallucination is ingenious as hell! Infinite holarchy of hallucination.

Checking if my hallucination of a hallucination corresponds with what that hallucination says it has hallucinated. 😂

If I see people behaving in some way or saying things, there are various possible experiences I can imagine them having, due to others' experiences being imaginary. But I cannot be sure if that would correspond with what they say they have experienced.

I wonder whether Spinoza had an awakening.

It is logical that there are. It must be.

Well, I disagree with that. By your definition of "ego-mind", you have pretzeled your experience so much so that you ignore the actuality of your experience. Your definition is deceptive because it tries to equate ego with experience, but then it says the ego is an abstraction of the experience itself. Your experience doesn't depend on your ego. There are always things in your experience that your ego isn't constructed on, due to experience being infinite. So, your experience is more fundamental than your ego. Your experience absolutely exists because it is self-evident, e.g., red is red, square is square, pain is pain, sound is sound, etc. The limitations of your experience are actual. You cannot get out of your experience no matter how hard you try. It is solipsistic.

I don't understand how you don't see that for materialism, x is assumed to be the underlying substance of everything while assuming that x is an unintelligent thing that qualia arises from. Solipsism says nothing exists or can be proven to be known outside of x without saying what x is. The assumption of solipsism is that x must be absolute (I ignored this assumption, sorry). However, my main point was that God breaks materialism because of its assumptions. It seems that x can be absolute, but when you put a thing that is absolute and intelligent it breaks. I removed the words "matter" and "mind" for you so that you could see where the assumptions lie, and it helped me as well, as you see. You complicated things when you tried to bring up materialism. Materialism is inherently not intelligent. I won't continue arguing about materialism. I'm tired and this is not the appropriate thread for this, so we are starting to get off topic.

@r0ckyreed The above is from Wikipedia. Each of your sensory field is distinguished from each other by a distinct qualia, which are what make your sensory phenomena actual. So, you will never find any sensory phenomenon outside of its appropriate sensory field, and the sensory fields cannot be the cause of each other, which means sensory fields do not have an external stimulus. Your sensory fields are a hallucination. So, to say that the external world outside your sensory field is actual invalidates your sensory fields being a hallucination. But if you say that the actuality of the external world is a hallucination, it wouldn't be invalidated.

I'm beginning to regret that I went in-depth here.

The stability of your experience doesn't prove that there are experiences outside your own. "Others' experience" means the experiences that are assumed to exist independently of your own that have the same characteristics as your own experience, which is different from experiences that you could have but are not currently having. The stability of your experience can make you believe that non-actual things that you could eventually experience are actual, that is to say, that there are objects independent of your experience.

The root of this whole problem stems from not understanding actuality or directness, which is why people treat the internal experience of others the same as their experience. This, in turn, leads to believing that there are real, independent experiences out there that are not their invention. It's interesting that some people can claim that they are ultimately God and there are experiences outside of their own of the same quality which God has already created.
