RE: Reality, Unreality, Magic and Sorcery - The Power of Consciousness (Pt.10)

in #magic8 years ago (edited)

If I understand correctly, solipsism is the idea that only I, my ego, exist. I'm suggesting—and indeed playing devil's advocate for—the idea that consciousness is all that exists. Everything else is constructed by consciousness, for consciousness, from consciousness. Space-time, light, energy, individual egos, all of it could be as illusionary as the Matrix. Demonstrable reality could be an internally consistent illusion and unreal imagined beliefs either internally inconsistent illusion or illusion of untested consistency.

For consciousness to exist, necessitates the existence of existence first.

Unless (real) existence is consciousness.

I was awaiting your response because, like most, I believe, or have been conditioned to believe, that we are separate entities. This has no bearing on whether or not it is objectively true. Your article even talks about how people act according to what they have come to believe rather than what is objectively true. Why are you surprised to see it in the wild? Rather than tell me that my argument is "full of contradictions that are not being addressed," why don't we discuss what those are?

Your first response is disappointingly littered with antipathy. I was rather hoping for a civil discussion from someone who obviously knows his stuff.
