I only exist when I'm aware of myself. Other people exist when I'm aware of them - they do not need to be self-aware, just as my thumb does not need to be self-aware in order to be a living part of my body. I am aware of my thumb - that is enough. My thumb is not aware of me. There is only one awareness. So, SecretSeven and Shindra are not really aware of each other. I(consciousness) am aware of them interacting. Just like I dreamed I was a character that interacted with another. Just like I wrote a story with several characters.
I could dream I was a pink elephant, interacting with other elephants. That does not make me a pink elephant. I am consciousness, and I can experience myself as anything I can dream of. Anything I can make myself believe will become reality. Thoughts, beliefs, intentions manifest.
