I concur.

Only our awareness is real. Again your awareness, mine and Steve's are all the same. There is no separate. What makes us to think it as separate is Maya.

So I think when Steve says that you are the only one conscious here, he means that your atman/self/awareness is the only thing that is real and everything else is unreal/projections. According to me LOA exists only in an objective world where we things like cars, house, money and materials are given form - which from Advaita perspective are unreal.

Now I dont know if Steve has created his own version of SR to understand LOA. I think we need to invite Steve to this thread for more info....else the confusion will just continue into more threads.
