Many fear solipsism - the idea that only you are real, and everyone else is nothing more than a projection of your mind. The fear usually comes from the thought of isolation: no true friends, no genuine connections, no “other” consciousness beyond your own.But consider the opposite. If this world is only you, why must that be terrifying? Every betrayal, every wound, every scar left by others would lose its weight. If no one else is truly real, then their judgment, their cruelty, their absence… none of it endures beyond your perception.In that sense, solipsism does not necessarily mean despair. It may mean liberation: the world becomes lighter when nothing within it has power over you except what you allow.
>>41095368Solipsism is absolutely not real, why would you ever be at a disadvantage if you were truly the only one, there's no scenario where one consciousness would limit itself in a form like this.
>>41095368sounds kinda nihilistic>>41095434if we are all part of one god (the monad or whatever) then it IS real and might be the reason why anything exists at all

>>41095368No. Any cosmology which has Awareness distributed out like something cheap is a highly evil cosmology.I am the only awareness. This is the only good way.Everything else is Hell.Imagine being God and being in pure peace and going “Hmmmmm… I think I’m going to just uh… yeah throw this precious awareness all over the place like it is cheaper than dirt!”No. Awareness is more precious than anything.Ontological evil of the highest degree for anyone else to have awareness. I have it. I am the Dreamer. The One First Person Perspective.>>41095434So that the utter relief of felt when I wake up in my cozy mansion with my red haired wife next to me feels intense. This illusion is like hard mode difficulty for remembering the Mansion. And I remembered. Of course I would make it convincing. It was a challenge thing. I’m throwing this game board out once I warp up into my arm chair.

>>41096126can you dream me a gf? thanks

>>41096153can (You) dream me a gf then? thank you, prime dreamer
>>41095368Solipsism seems like a smaller part of a huge system: larger if you count God because then it's actually solipsism. Also, even projections when done with God seem lively and other, but most of us haven't even seen the kingdom they worship the fucking holding area. I'm trying to learn how to do my thing, but it doesn't seem to want to work with me. God does though, so I'm very confused.
too be fully cognisant of solipsism. one must take a potent dose of a psychedelic. otherwise its just an assumption or belief.
why do you see it all from you and not from me?the fuck makes ur pov so special?
>>41096165Why should I?
>>41095368I'm kinda with you on this... but I can never get over the whole loneliness part, personally.I think most people's reactions to ideas related to solipsism are knee-jerk reactions that come from a place of not having really experienced it. What I mean is, until you have experienced a solipsistic viewpoint, you can't really understand it, I think.I have a vague thought experiment: Imagine for a moment that you and your friend are, at your innermost core, in fact, the same "thing", all that separates you is the entirety of physical reality, that is to say, the only way to communicate with each other is via the physical realm, which basically means talking, and other physical acts.Language, being as it is, can really only get you so far. If you could communicate perfectly with your friend, do you think you would ever disagree about anything?Then I would extend the "argument" to include all animals and objects, the only difference being their functions for communication are more limited, or different to our own.
