I know that conciousness has to individuate itself at least once to recognize itself. So if it could do it once, I have no reason to assume it can't do it an infinite amount of times aswell. The second option sounds much more of what God would do. One puny experience is too small for God with infinite potential.

You can have multiple points of view of the same experience. God is having an experience through you and through me, and through infinite other points of view.

No, one unbounded experience experienced from infinite points of view all at the same time, in the eternal here and now.

Yes but that doesn't disprove my point 👍 nice try tho

By definition there is no room for anything else. But there is infinite room for points of self recognition. You're just one of those points. There is nothing stopping conciousness from creating infinite more like you.

Yes. But that doesn't imply that there is only sole recognizer of experience. There could be infinite individuated points in conciousness where unbounded experience is being recognized. If conciousness was able to do it once, what is stopping it from doing it infinite amount of times?

Yes

From a certain point of view I can agree with this.

If what is can recognize itself once by individuating itself into you, then it can recognize itself infinite amount of times by individuating itself into infinite entities. And that's what is happening right now. Why? Because God is all about glory, and infinite recognition is much more glorious than a single puny recognition that is manifesting through you alone. It's incredible arrogance to believe your puny experience of life is the limit of God's greatness.

There is nothing stopping the what is to recognize itself in multiple locations. This insistence that what is can only recognize itself once in a single location is ungrounded assumption.

If experience can end, then it's not infinite.

You could also conclude that the earth is flat with such a method of investigation.

If there are things beyond the concious control, that implies that you're not the maker of the dream. Uh oh. "Let's pretend that argument doesn't exist and continue with my story, maybe nobody will notice it" - a solipsists.

Williams meant to say, if solipsism implies that there's only one dreamer. How come he's speaking with two awakened solipsists? Would the real slim shady please stand up?

@Natasha Tori Maru walking piece of art.

No awake being ever thinks that way except Leo. And his argument for it is, that he had an awakening that can't be questioned. Absolute truth revelation. That's the end of the explanation.

@Leo Gura so you're just going to ignore all objections to your position and call that steelmaning yours?

Individuation is the necessary function of conciousness to recognize itself. Individuation implies that you're both a piece of God and entire God together. And that one addition is what brakes solipsism. Individuation is self evident the moment there is an increase of conciousness taking place. "how a mirror can’t reflect itself without curvature or angle—self-awareness may require individuation, not as separation, but as functional polarity within unity."

You're both.

It's a combination of things at play here. 1. My own insight and inquiry leads me to believe solipsism is false. 2. Every mystic in the history of humanity says the same thing. 3. Non solipsism is logically a more realistic position. (I already gave my arguments why earlier in this thread which were doubled checked with chatgpt for logical consistency) 4. Why should I believe Leo? Especially why would I take his word over every mystic that ever lived? All things considered, I can't help but hold the position that I hold. It has nothing to do with me "being afraid" of solipsism. Solipsism is just a dumb position on many levels.

Oh, that's more like it.

The chances that Leo is right.: Me: If there was one person on the planet who said his awakening is the biggest on the planet and he preachers solipsism, what would be the probability of him being right mathematically speaking? ChatGPT : Great question—it uses a rational, probabilistic lens to examine a metaphysical claim. 🧮 Let’s rephrase the scenario logically: One person claims to have the greatest spiritual awakening on the planet and says solipsism is true—i.e., only he is real and everyone else is a projection. You ask: What is the mathematical probability that he's right? Step-by-Step Reasoning 🔢 1. Base Rate Fallacy There are ~8 billion people on Earth. Thousands—perhaps millions—have claimed spiritual awakening. So, claiming awakening is not rare. Claiming to be the “greatest awakened” is statistically indistinguishable from delusional grandiosity. Base rate: The vast majority of people who make this claim are wrong. So the prior probability is already extremely low. 🧠 2. Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence Solipsism isn’t just a personal insight—it implies: No other minds exist All other beings are imaginary The universe is a projection of his consciousness This is a maximally extraordinary metaphysical claim But it has zero falsifiability and zero external evidence So from a Bayesian point of view, the posterior probability (after evaluating evidence) remains very close to zero. ⚖️ 3. Self-Defeating Logic If solipsism is true and he’s the only one who exists: Why communicate? To whom? Why teach? Who could awaken if all others are him? If he preaches solipsism to others, he’s already acting inconsistently with his own claim. This internal contradiction lowers his credibility further—mathematically, you’d reduce the probability again. 🔁 4. Alternative Explanation More Likely Occam’s Razor: “The simplest explanation is usually correct.” Which is more likely? He’s the only real mind in the universe, and everyone else is his illusion He’s a spiritual person with delusional narcissism, possibly amplified by a genuine, partial mystical experience Given what we know of human psychology, mysticism, and history, #2 is exponentially more likely. 🧮 Final Probability Estimate: Let’s be generous. Assume 1 in 10,000 humans claim awakening Assume 1 in 1,000 of those say they’re “the greatest” Assume 1 in 1,000 of those assert solipsism That’s 1 in 10 billion—already more than the human population. Combine that with zero evidence and internal contradiction… ✅ Final Mathematical Probability: Less than 1 in 10 billion (0.00000001%) Or, more simply: Functionally zero. Would you like help crafting a logical or humorous refutation to someone making such a claim?

Those are not the conclusions from chatgpt. Chatgpt just collected the date of every guru in the history of humanity. Conclusion being that all of them reject solipsism. If you contemplate the weight of it, it makes Leo's position look absolutely absurd.

Read the conclusion. "No major mystic or spiritual tradition endorses solipsism.In fact, nearly all mystical traditions explicitly reject it, even while affirming the unity of all things."
