The Paradox of Solipsism

[godwide_void]

Thank you very much godwide_void, you described one if the key processes of this place very well. I am going through a process of learning, forgetting and relearning the small "rules" that make up our experience. Your words made the process clarified my own understanding greatly. I'd like to add a little view: take creator A and B that are sitting in a room. A: s energy is flowing through only through his heart chakra, while B has a complex variation of distortions which makes his enrgy flow through all of the lower chakras. The light meets between the two creators and reflects from and passes through to each otherself at different rates depending on the intensity/vibration. A: s light shines easier through to B than the other way around and etc. What are your thoughts?

Given that Creator A's being is dictated by his Heart chakra, we may assume that he/she is an open, loving, accepting, non-judgmental, and understanding person who tries to highlight the inherent good in people when he/she perceives another. I would think then, that the distortions/imbalances of Creator B, manifesting in any number of ways (communication issues, anxiety, comparison of him/herself and Creator A, sporadic outbursts, emotional issues, etc. which may all accumulate into a general feeling of low-self worth/hopelessness) during their conversation/time together, would be accepted by Creator A who has balanced love/compassion in him/herself.

Creator B's psyche is, for lack of a better term, jumbled up, and Creator A perhaps acts a reflection of the innermost aspect of B's mind which knows that none of these distortions equates to the end of the world or B's being a bad person, and to accept these distorted parts of the self as aspects of onesself, but not the defining factor. So Creator A represents Creator's B deepest desire to strive towards happiness and purification and exists as a teacher to B to help him recognize and overcome these distortions, which may happen when Creator B begins to see how much of a kind, loving and open person they are, and starts to confide in Creator A the inner turmoil he/she undergoes, and the expected result is Creator A counseling B, listening, understanding, offering insight, etc.

So how is Creator B a reflection of Creator A's psyche? Simply put, if Creator A desires to love all beings unconditionally, then he/she should be able to accept someone who is as 'flawed' as Creator B, so out of Creator A's desire to love others, regardless of their path, Creator B enters A's life and allows such an opportunity to occur. That's my take on your scenario anyways.

I have dealt with the problem of solipsism many many times, so my answer above is the one i found that gave me balance and direction of focus.

That said

Regardless of solipsism being true or not, which is something i can't verify right now and don't know how can be verifiable.

How do i want to live in the NOW, what types of experience do i prefer, this is how i see it, regardless of the nature of existence\awareness in relation to a self or identity.

Love or fear. Joy or depression\anger\hate.... and so forth..

I am glad my perspectives granted you some solace. And I agree with your sentiments that it's how one approaches the moment that really matters as opposed to what vast body of knowledge one draws from or what technical analysis one makes; everybody creates their own reality moment by moment, and whether one undergoes times of peace or chaos rests solely on you.

A classroom is a good example. Objectively, it's just a room with chairs. Add several people there, the students and teacher, and it has become a place where many vastly different realities are taking place. To one, school might be an intense bore, another may be daydreaming, another might be keenly interested in whats being discussed, and yet another may be struggling with some social anxiety and is dreading the entirety of the time there. So we have a prime example of a set, underlying reality existing independently of everyone there, and at the same time when many are gathered there (or even just one) different realities are created by the various minds which enter that sphere of consciousness. Reality exists apart from the mind, and the mind also creates its own reality within the reality it finds itself in.

Ali Quadir, I believe this analogy may better put what I was trying to get across in better perspective for you as well I hope. It's not so much a "problem" as it is an observation.
