Accepting the fact that Consciousness is ONLY Here and not anywhere else

There is an easy way to know if solipsism is the right word. Go up to any enlightened teacher and tell them you are a solipsist. They will either laugh you out the door or kick you in the chest to show how "real" other beings' minds are  

The solipsist understands that any 'enlightened teacher' and any 'reaction' they might have can only be known to exist as subjective experience.  This 'experiment' doesn't show the solipsist anything.

@Tim R I have no other self than the totality of that which I am aware. 

The only thing I know exists for sure is experience itself... I may be totally confused about the content of experience, but I know that something seems to be happening right now, which is how I define 'myself'.

@Tim R and the 'Do you even exist, bro' comment was tongue in cheek.. a play on 'do you even lift, bro'.. I would never call anyone 'bro' in earnest.  

I like your posts.. you seem to know what you're talking about most of the time.

Again, I think we are fundamentally in agreement that individual beings ARE oneness, and that subjective experience is all that we have as beings. I disagree with the term because of its academic connotations, but I understand what you are saying, and I agree. Best of luck on your journey

@Mason Riggle thank you can only say the same about you

yeah "most" is accurate, I still talk about a lot of things I don't really understand. Gotta give that up, just a silly game

Don't you dare to open another solipsism thread…?

You are the one who is saying this is solipsism. ?

Go all the way with skepticism. 

.. the ultimate level of scepticism, the purest form of it, is the realization that there's literally no difference between anything. Its not I don't know if I cannot know anything, its I know I cannot know anything. Just proven, QED that its impossible to know. Its proof that seeking is futile. That's the ultimate level of scepticism. And its so amazing because everyone uses scepticism and don't realise what it is at an ultimate level. Its beautiful seeing how clueless everyone is. They think you have to be sceptical to ensure that you discover the right thing about reality (like the right thing is idealism, and not realism, or is absolute love and not god consciousness, or is infinite consciousness and not love consciousness, or is consciousness and not a 3D world... if only they knew that scepticism doesn't lead to any collapsing, it leads to complete uncollapse in its purest form, everything = each other.

If you can not know anything, you can not know that you can not know anything. 

There is one thing you can know.. and that thing is yourself, which is everything there is.
