It was a lot easier to use the word true when you used the word "you"
Let's see. SecretSeven did not exist before awareness became aware of SecretSeven. SecretSeven did not exist before awareness of the same. Awareness=existence. Existence equals awareness. Unawareness=unexistent.
'Shindra' and 'SecretSeven' are not aware. Egos are not aware. Shindra and SecretSeven exist independently of each other - but not independently of awareness. Right now, the
I is/am aware of Shindra and SecretSeven, therefore they exist. Should awareness move unto something else, they would cease to exist.
Objectivian: only you exist. Only what you are aware of exists.
Subjectivese:
"Only I exist. You did not exist before I created you as a person who writes forum posts. I became aware of you the moment I read your post, which is the same moment you came into existence."
If awareness has centered it's perspective within SecretSeven:
"Only I exist. Shindra did not exist before I created Shindra as a person who writes forum posts. I became aware of Shindra the moment I read Shindra's post, which is the same moment Shindra came into existence."
