We're all part of the one consciousness, great! We interact with each other, fine! we're all equally connected, sure!, but the references to consciousness being all there is and
it's centered on me and everything else including Steve and you, are
projections from my consciousness, seems to imply that I am consciousness and no one else is.
Steve is very specific about, no one else has thoughts but me, no one is conscious but me, then he says
............."Now both of us know whose reality this really is, don't we? Whichever one of us is the conscious being here."
Well who is?? Steve does not say we are all conscious, he says it's me, but then says he's conscious??
I'm not being critical of Steve, I like the idea of SR and just want to grasp it better. I can believe whatever I want to believe, I know that, but it's Steve's explanation that is confusing. Is he being cryptic?? Does he not really know what to believe?? Does he not understand SR??
I'm just looking for clarification of Steve's SR theory, not explanations of consciousness etc.
Thanks and Peace
