Even if our 'real world' were still a dream, something or someone would still be doing the dreaming. Berkeley assumed everything took place within the eye of God, which would still be an entity." And that entity has to exist in SOME manner in order to have thoughts. An entity cannot have thoughts about itself without some reference points outside of itself.theoryparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193567910878615371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393585416528924730.post-17672607102226227452017-03-04T10:17:20.524-08:002017-03-04T10:17:20.524-08:00Ps: unfortunately a lot of my thoughts say that I ...Ps: unfortunately a lot of my thoughts say that I am God, and more if i wanted this world exactly how he is ??<br />I don't know if I am solipsistic, in the past a psychologist told me so, but I strong doubt that an external world, objects, humans and animals really exist.<br /><br />Maybe I am under hypnonys, trance or coma....I don't Knowlaura elle https://www.blogger.com/profile/06640914838731371057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393585416528924730.post-51147623739271172312017-03-04T08:54:17.962-08:002017-03-04T08:54:17.962-08:00I have this thoughts since i was 19.

Now by reading about holographic universe and mind projection, and the fear gets worse. I read also about brahman,and my fear gets worse. I don't want to be the only in the universe.

That is an extrapolation towards an extreme, which is easy to knock down--like a scale with too much weight on one side.<br /><br />Have you answered Solipsism to your satisfaction? Is there a solution you find satisfactory?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031038169242567903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393585416528924730.post-82099149086800187552013-12-02T16:34:39.800-08:002013-12-02T16:34:39.800-08:00Thanks for the comment...My response is to questio...Thanks for the comment...My response is to question WHY is my mind unable to create a perfect world if that is what it is trying to do. There must be some answer, even if I don't know it yet, since any such reason would be a part of my mind. If I have the will to know what that answer is, but I do not have the answer or can think of the answer, it seems likely that something other than my mind being all there is, is going on.theoryparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193567910878615371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393585416528924730.post-82588544736182309502013-12-02T04:21:32.983-08:002013-12-02T04:21:32.983-08:00I have thinking about solipsism lately and i also ...I have thinking about solipsism lately and i also think that if solipsism is true then there is a subconscious that creates the world of the solipsist. Why would that subconscious creates situations where the mind will suffer is questionable, but my theory would be that<br />the subcionscious maybe is trying to create perfect world but is unable to. So i really don't think that the need for subconscious that creates the world is an argument against solipsism. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
