solipsistic-chic

An individual who can only perceive their own thoughts, feelings, and awareness of the world around them. No other set of perceptions are possible--thereby ending the notion that any other mind exists but that of the solipsist and his restricted world view.

G Bush 11 is solipsistic-chic: his perception that other countries should be forced to pursue democracy regardless of the improbable nature of that happening in tribal or dictator-led countries--and contrary to the views, opinions of a vast majority both domestically and abroad, including countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, who he perceives will benefit from his solipsistic belief system despite these countries' deep history to the contrary.

solipsis

Solipsis: A new word coined here and now. The third major paradigm after the first=Religion, the second=Science. Solipsis states that there is only the binary consciousness of the entire "universe" consisting of each individual's consciousness and the consciousness of the entire universe, which operate in a Yin/Yang fashion, co-creating each other. Each of our own consciousness' is Yang, being "smaller" and denser. The universal consciousness is Yin, being "larger" and more expanded. Ones consciousness is the only thing which exists instantaneously in the here and now and is a sympathetic hologramatic reflection of the entire universe seen through each of our own unique hologramatic lenses. The universe is embedded in our consciousness, as our consciousness is embedded in the universe. Everything else takes "time" to perceive and therefore doesn't exist in the here and now, the " past "and "future" are illusions embedded in the present. Neither science nor religion can find the seat of human consciousness. Rene Descartes (1596-1650) located the seat of consciousness in the pineal body, but modern science does not agree. Everything is an electro-magnetic being, not a "physical-material being". Human consciousness is not a physical place located in the brain or body, but is an electro-magnetic field outside of our body, it is the consciousness of the entire universe itself with "our own" interpretation, as seen thru each of our own individual lenses. This twin consciousness is the only consciousness that exists. All other people, places, things, and concepts, including our own "physical body," are extensions and part of this consciousness and are illusionary projections from our part of this binary consciousness. This binary field is all that exists. Our consciousness projects the universe at the same time it is projected to itself by the universe. This is what eastern philosophy referrs to as Yin/Yang, western philosophy referrs to subjective/objective. We have previously tended to see ourselves as separate individuals and not part of the whole, in large part due to the dualistic scientific concept of Rene Descartes. His concept is equivilent to seeing a whilpool as separate from the river it is in. According to solipsis we are whirling pools embedded in the "universe" in a very similar manner. We are not born into the universe as Descartes suggests, as there is no "outside the universe." When any thing can no longer maintain it's integrity it doesn't "die" as suggested by the current Descartian scientific dualistic philosophy, it merely returns to the flow from which it came. Things don't leave the universe any more than they are born into it.

The concept of solipsis is beyond all other concepts and shows the limitation of all other words and transcends the more mundane and exoteric concepts of life, death, time, space, energy and matter which are just the "scientific" way of looking at what are the illusions of the solipsistic view. This is not solipsism as is commonly defined by the dictionary, but solipsis as defined here. According to the dictionary definition of solipsism, "only the individual exits". Solipsis states that only the binary consciousness of the indivdual and the consciousness of the "entire universe as a whole" exists

solipsism

The belief that the person holding the belief is the only real thing in the universe. All other persons and things are merely ornaments or impediments to his happiness.

Rene Descartes proved his existance by saying " I think, therefore I am."
(cogito- ergo, sum) The solipsist prefers " cogito ergo omnia sum"
-I think therefore, I am everything!

solipsism

Solipsism is the notion that the only thing that can be experienced and proven rationally, is the first person experience. As you read this you view it from the filter of idiocy that you normally see everything from, e.g. the first person. It is impossible to refute, and it doesn't mean that a person is narcissistic if they believe in it. Nor does it mean that the person believes they are the only thing that exists, it means that they can rationally believe in only themselves as everything else is beyond their experience, much as i cannot rationally believe in Peru until i visit it, but we're not all perfect.

Here is some solipsism in a jar:
If, then, therefore, shut up.

I enjoy: something i can verify.
You enjoy: not something i can verify.

solipsism

Solipsism is the belief that nothing exists outside of oneself. It is a skeptical philosophy that was made popular by Rene Descartes.

Simply put, solipsists believe that everything they experience is created by their imagination.

Greg believes solipsism - he believes that I am a part of his imagination.

Sophia is also a solipsist - she believes that Greg and I are a part of her imagination.

And so on...

Pantheistic Solipsistic Buddhism

Today, a young philosophy major on Magic Mushrooms, realized that all matter in the Universe is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration; that our souls are actually the electronic energy connections within our minds. That we are all one universal consciousness born into separate realities, experiencing itself subjectively. There is NO such thing as space and time or death; life is only an existential dream, and everything that ever thrived in the universe (humans, animals, plants, stars) is the imagination of ourselves.

Pretty much true.

solipsism

The philosophical theory that one is the only person that actually exists, and everything else is constructed as a result of their imagination, including everybody they know and everything that's ever happened. In other words, it's an excuse to be a complete arsehole.

John loves solipsism. He's a complete arsehole.
