Bit of a shame, init?

When we are "enlightened" we realize there's nobody to share the news with. No buddy to say to, "woah man, can you believe this was the answer all along?"

Imagine realizing the grandest most insane thing possible, and you can't even tell anyone else about it. Frustrating.

Then we come back to being normal and don't have a grasp on it anymore.

Why is that? If perspective-bound Solipsism *isn't* a thing, then you have a lot of people who haven't got a clue and would be eager to hear you, even if they're ultimately you. If you told me this 3 years ago, for example, I would've been like "uhh what?". So in that sense, there are people to share the news with indeed.

I mean, what difference would it make if others were not ultimately you? Everything would be the exact same way, and you wouldn't know it.

No I mean... Uhm... Example:

Everyone is dead and the universe has ended. None of us are separate anymore, it's all back to just a total singularity of pure being. Imagine we can still think, and there's some knowing of this. And it'd be like "holy fuck this is insane, can't wait to tell Chris-.... oh... right......." you couldn't actually reach the people who were once separate from you to share with them the crazy news. They're just not there anymore, they never existed, and neither did your human self either... Nobody to share it with...

You see?

Like that...

Think of it this way:

Imagine there were an infinite number of people who you could share awakening with.

So then you go ahead and share it with every one of them.

Then what would you do once there was no one left to share with? How would you feel?

Oh, gotcha. It's so obvious what you meant to say now that I re-read your post. My bad lol.

that there are no others seems very shocking and strange to us because we are human and therefore eminently social, like ants in the anthill. Alone we are worth nothing. if we were, for example, octopuses, being alone would seem very normal to us. and if you are god, even more normal
