Interesting. Like all others I guess I've had experiences of seeing myself reflected in thought or feeling in ensuing experiences more than enough times to believe it to be coincidental.
But that doesn't mean that there's just me around. I imagine it like sending out a beacon and the whole responding to it in whatever ways. If you believe that all is God incarnated and connected, having the universe around responding to you seems pretty natural. It's just a question of how aware you are of that fact.
Solipsism on the other hand taken to extremes results in feelings of undiluted horror. I passed through it briefly and it was the worst moments of my life. It's definitely not the path to truth cause only ego could inspire such utter dread and despair.
