if there is only one consciousness and only on reality, if everyone else is just another part of your consciousness, if all of the people on this thread who are posting are all just part of your own consciousness then why are you even posting? What are you doing? Why are you trying to argue with yourself? Subject reality seems like an interesting concept, but it means that we're completely alone in this world. All your friends, your family, your neighbour, your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband, your children are just a part of you. So what is the point? what is the point of getting married, of meeting someone to spend the rest of your life with, and of having children? Why not just shut yourself up in a secluded building, in the middle of nowhere, and live your life there. To me, other people and other consciousnesses make me feel whole, if i dont have human contact i feel depressed and lonely. Lonliness, to me, is the worst condition to be in, and the worst feeling to feel. If you are the only consciousness then why do you need to be successful and respected? The only "people" who are respecting you are parts of your own consciousness. And why is the number one I-M, that everyone on this forum talks about, money??? If you are the only consciousness, why do you need money? If you have the bare necessities (forgive me if i am assuming too much, but you must have some kind of access to a computer, which tells me that you are not in an incredibly dire financial situation), then what are the extras - nicer house, nice clothes, hot car, private school for your children, family vacation - that you are planning to buy with your manifested money good for? If you are the only consciousness, then why do you care waht kind of shoes you are wearing? Think about it, you can go barefoot and tell yourself that you are wearing prada. Or tell yourself that bare feet are the NOW thing, for if you are the only consciousness, then YOU are in charge of all the styles and values of the world. I hope you can hear what i am saying. My point is, that if you are the only consciousness, then what is the point of living at all? My passion is to help people and to make a difference in the world. But, if the world is only me, if i am the only consciousness that exists then why do i care if i can help some girl overcome depression? Why do i care if my friends are happy? They are only part of my consciousness, and therefore, i dont need to help them. They dont even really exist, in a sense. I only need to help myself and, if this is the case, then why dont i just spend my entire life sleeping (of lucid dreaming as you say).
Does anyone else see the immense gaping hole that is puncturing the entire subjective reality thing?
