The Apparent Problem of Solipsism

"If everything is my consciousness and there’s only one being, does this mean I’m alone? Doesn’t this understanding lead to solipsism? Rupert says: ‘This would be solipsism only if “you” referred to a separate, finite person whose consciousness contains everyone and everything else. But that’s not what we’re suggesting. When we say there’s only one consciousness, we’re not elevating your personal consciousness above others; we’re recognising that the consciousness that’s aware of your experience and the consciousness that’s aware of everyone else’s experience is the same consciousness. It’s not that you contain everyone else; it’s that the being you essentially are is the same being that everyone essentially is. This understanding doesn’t isolate you; it unites you with everyone and everything. You’re not alone as a separate self; you’re alone as the one infinite being that appears as everyone and everything.’"
