Apparently we do, we have the ability to chose to be here, to chose to what womb we are born into and to set up others to be in our lives as well, its within our capability from what I understand, most never reach this capability but it is a Potential of ours if we are Conscious enough..

This is already the case in the world, just look around, chaos is here, massive human suffering and so forth, lets wait and see what happens...

First You self hate, then You self forgive then You self guilt, self shame and self self self.,.This is just more empowerment to the Ego.. as this is all self created things done unconsciously.. Why do You have to love or hate anything about yourself, why judge it? Just Observe it, and if it is not to your liking then change it...Once You go down this path of Self Love, then Ego gets super powered up and in charge totally, but Ego is not You, its a false mask, social construct...

Solipsism is true only in Experience, but right now there are 8.5 different Human Experiences on this planet right now, or is that just a dream?? I think it is not a dream, but I acknowledge that all my Experience only happens within Me, that is truth and it the same for everyone, but that doesn't mean I am the only one in existence, my basic senses tell me that..

I was posting what I think, You came along and mention Sadhguru, and You do this often in association with whatever I post, so this is on You not Me...Please do not do that, I have my own thoughts and opinions about things, as we all do.... I think it is wise to agree to disagree..

Because Your coming off like he's some sort of chump, whereas YOu are not, that is why, and maybe answer the question, what affect are you having on anyone, other than those close to You??? Your completely corrupted by Leo's teachings that is for sure, not that that is totally bad, but You look up to him too much, he's still got a ways to go, do Your own work, You know Shambhavi, do it intensely, drop the drugs, and go natural, see where it gets You...

Lol, so know you think he's got nothing to offer, now I really know what Your about, but ppl should listen to You, what do You have to offer other than a personal experience? Where did I say I follow him because of Popularity??? I watched his vids back in 2010, they sounded logical, made sense to me, did the basic practice, it did wonders to me in 2 weeks, did the IE program, more wonders after that, so where does the question of popularity arise here when I have tested the methods?? Once again Your own belief in your own self made dogma reveals itself, feel sorry for You!!! You psychedelic freaks, you have a very pronounced narcissism, most all of You have a way of talking down to someone that doesn't follow your path, do you know this??

Only Zealots behave or react like above, and Zealots of blinded by the Belief in something being too much of this or that, in this case that Trump is some sort of nut cased psycho dictator, 4 yrs from now it will all be forgotten and they'll complain about not being able to get a date still:)

I think Leo is very intelligent, has had a ton of Grand Experience, some naturally but most via psychedelics, I think he likes to share it, but he doesn't like the majority of his followers asking stupid questions over and over again, he likes it when they follow his path and have similar results, I don't blame him, I think being popular online is a curse of sorts, you have to mostly deal with idiots saying idiotic things over and over again, he gets frustrated. Too me he seems like an internally angry person generally, yeah he laughs at times, says he's wrong at times but on here he's short tempered and doesn't respond or respect at times he's followers or ppl asking questions to him here, he does most of the time but misses some at times too..strange behaviour at times, not stable.. He's intellectually Enlightened I would say, not Experientially, which is the last stage imo... I respect his passion for sharing Truth as he knows it, for sure he's one of the top tier ppl in that department!

Anyways Solipsism can be easily Disproven, just see above:):):)

OMG man there is no reasoning with You, go watch another Leo video okay... You make it sound like Sadhguru is some sort of chump too, he's just the most popular Yogi of the modern day, consecrates temples, initiates millions, whether You buy into this stuff or not, he's having a great affect on ppl, what affect are you having??? P.S. You as well spew lots of dogma, Your go to is "Try 5 meo, that will do it for You", lol this is hypocritical with Your types...

Well this is one place to investigate, there are others, this forum has a variety of subject matters to investigate and many perspective are shared shared, I think in some cases its too extreme, too many perspectives can lead one to major confusion as to where to begin and start their action towards knowing, much better IMO to use established methods, that are time proven and give experiential step by step gains in experiential knowing (not intellectual), not grand steps that lead to maybe fear and anxiousness or more confusion...

Exactly, that is why I say Solipsist are Narcissistic in nature, it Exclusiveness at its highest degree, exactly opposite of what Nature and Reality as we know it here is!

What answers, to what questions, the question or knowing is not really the end of what most here are looking for, so I don't buy into that this place is that.. plus intellectually there is only minimal knowing, all the answers are already within Each Person, coming here to find the answers is the wrong way of doing it, just be Still and Quiet and the answers will come to One that really wants to know, but can they do that???

Then why late last year did I start a thread with this guy and its about Taoism?? Why would I even be watching his videos if I was so entrenched with Sadhguru??? I think You are the one that is obsessed or misguided, look at the evidence and see but You can't, your caught up in experiential belief, which is still belief which is not really knowing!!!

There are MANY structures to reality lol, and our minds will never understand it completely, we don't even understand a tiny Atom completely, never mind the Reality of Everything, so what You say above is just another ideology.. I don't have really an ideology, I just say that Absolute/God/Brahman is Potential and Possibility, whatever You believe in is just that a Potential, what the nay sayer believes in is their Possibility, somewhere in existence maybe there is just a You and You are imagining everything else like in Matrix, maybe not I don't know, but to actually buy into this I am the Only one in Existence as an Absolute certainty is insane!!

What if the word Solipsism and the definition of it never entered Your world, your mind, but You had the Grand Experience, maybe You would think I am Everything, Everything is Me, meaning that the many all comes back to One, it doesn't deny anything...

You can say it all You want, You can say if You one day drop the brick on your foot that it won't hurt it won't hurt but it will hurt no matter what You say, its purely Subjective, and this is the real debate, is there such a thing as Objectivity? Well if You believe that there is nothing but Yourself and what You Experience then why post here, why have any relationships, why exist??? Or is this a part of the imaginary dream too lol.. Again those words are totally inappropriate to use IMO..

Regardless of how one gets there, I would recommend that someone get there naturally via yogic methods, but that is another discussion, the Experience only happens within YOU, I have no idea when You having this experience and when, that alone proves solipsism in not true, and if You deny Experience then why take any substance or do any practice to have any affect??? We are here to Experience all that this life has to offer, some experience Grand Experiences via what You mention above, others never experience this, and non human life forms will never either, so what is the conclusion of this? That there are many not just One!

This only exists in Your Experience, if You had no ability to really experience, like when You were a new born, then all of this is just bla bla bla, now You've had Experiences over the time span of Your Life, so it is true that all of Your Experiences only happen within You, You or any of Us have never experienced anything outside of Ourselves, in that aspect alone Solipsism is True, but that is on the Experience level only, You can't deny that there are other Bodies with their own Unique Experiences and the above is the same for them. This is really not a question of "Am I the only One in existence", its a questions of "What is the nature of Being Human or any Life Form", the nature of Being Human is that we are all fundamentally the same within ourselves, Absolute/God/Brahman is present in all things, living and dead, again I'll use the eg of a Bubble of Air, Air is Brahman, Bubble is Body, Mind, Material, Karma, Duality, Creation in all its trillions of forms, it all comes from ONE source, but its diversified on this level of Reality, in that aspect we are many, in Absolute there is only One but no Body, no Life is present, just Potential and Possibility... Everyone here that buys into Solipsism as meaning Only I Exist, is talking from Absolute level of Reality but they are not present completely in that Reality, since they have a Body and Mind to deal with, only Experientially can they touch that aspect of Reality, and not everyone is in that Experience obviously!

I'm not forcing anyone to do anything, I'm just saying that trying to fight it, if that is really what Trump wants, is a hopeless endeavour, we can't do anything to go against unless You want to endure allot of Suffering, its that simple.. why suffer when the States are not that bad of a place to be a part of compared to China or Russia invading us, then for sure we would have to fight against that...

Happiness if the foundation of BEINGNESS, which should come before You do any action or have anything via an action taken.. the formula is simple first BE-->then DO --->then HAVE, most do it backwards they DO then HAVE then try to BE but get stuck,then suffering results... Happiness/BEingness allows all Your Potential to come up from within, when no stress is present in Your Life all your facilities and intelligence, attributes are optimized, Your in the Zone all the time, ready to be creative, endless energy and no minds games in your head thinking of failure and what ifs, just set the foundation right by establishing Your BEING then go out and do and get what You deserve!

omg now you bring up abortion rights lol!!!

The US with all its problems, that Canada has too by the way, as what happens there happens here too, is still considered a high level of living, yes they have major poverty problems, we do too, lots of homelessness in Canada and Toronto, these problems are economic problems and as I've said its all corrupt, the masses do not benefit from the way this economy runs, the rich get richer the poor poorer, its always been this way generally, but there are exceptions, but its much worse in other places than here that is for sure.. so we wouldn't be joining a place much different from the way it is here, and ppl are suffering things anyways, they suffer there failure and success, their loneliness and families/friends, ppl are capable of suffering most anything, this is due to their unconsciousness, not the situations happening around them for the most part!!!

I'll make one correction, we are infinite gods in "Embodied" forms, which means in some ways we are limited, if you identify with the Body and Mind, which most are, If you are not identified with Body/Mind, then you can access via experience the God Field, but only thru experience, at high levels even in the physical realm You will appear to be Super Human with powers and siddhis, but this is a trap too, because the goal is complete liberation from this cycle of birth into a body/mind, then death from it, the rebirth over and over again...
