Dear Steve,

If your theories are based on your own experience, how can you tell others what reality is really like? You are assuming your experience is real. How would you know this is actually the case? You could be imaging it. There is no way for you to check, nor is there anyway for us. So stop telling us what subjective reality really is. You simply do not know! You seem very keen on defending your point of view however. Does that not mean you are still trying to convince yourself? It is like your mind that never seizes to think. Your forum is a physical manifestation of the conversations going on in your head! Stop it!

If I stop pointing at you for a second, I am actually talking about the conversations in my head. I grew tired of them and turned my back to your blogs and forum for a while. Now that I have returned nothing seems to have changed. It is an ever going discussion about something that cannot be proven, simply because it is based on personal experience. What is the point?

Let us not end it here, but say for a minute that my life is but imagination. If my mind is imagining all things - this must also include me and my mind is part of me - how can my mind imagine my mind?

One could also ask, if life is like a dream then who is the dreamer? If you have an answer to this question, have you actually experienced the dreamer and if so, how do you know you did not imagine it? If there is no dreamer however, how can there be a dream?

Perhaps the question is: how can I be sure of anything, even of consciousness?
