What I don't understand is how the world can exist in the first place if your theory is true. How can thoughts create reality? Matter only exists when it is observed seems completely rediculous.

Think about it this way. How do you exist now if the only way matter can exists is if it is observed.

You would:

1. Not have any real parents because you created everything.
2. Would have had to create everything in Human culture yourself. (even the things you aren't aware of currently).
3. You would be a "god" type of character because you would have always existed and that makes no sense if we see ourselves age. And if it's all in our heads where did we come up with the idea in the first place?
4. You would be livinvg in a matrix world because the "simulation" would have to have been created.

A universe that is created and you are put in it to live logicly makes sense to me, however that would mean you are the only consciousness. That being said, I would have no know exactly what you're going to type as a response to this because I thought it up. OR it was all predestined and the whole idea of the LOA is fictional because our lives are predetermined in the first place.

This whole thing seems really contradictory and I'm having trouble grasp it.
Halp?!

Thanks in advance =D
