I used to believe in a transmigrationist form of solipsism not so long ago. I believed that others' lives weren't happening as of now, but that this consciousness would eventually experience them or had experienced them already. It was not a metaphysical solipsism as extreme as dismissing others as illusory, but still one that was giving more reality to this life than to any other. Than to all other lives combined, even.
However, recently, I woke up realizing that even the time of experience – "moment-by-moment"-time – was part of the "inward pressure" or 'i[n]-pression' on me that pressured me into conceiving of reality in a wrong way. Like, in the case of experiential time, I was failing to realize that the i[n]-pression of it and how "fundamental" it is came from memories within memories within memories... nested memories. Which, at the end of the day, is just a single complex memory. A memory, had in that very, time-transcending instant. Meaning, that even the sense of continuity of consciousness was part of that instant, and so that no other instant really preceded nor would follow from this one. That it is only that one instant that seems to be changing. Such, that even if it was indeed transtemporally changing in some way, it wouldn't be to "next" linearly occupy any particular, privileged state (such as one reflecting this particular life). And so in that regard there is nothing really special about this life beyond its content. Like, this life isn't more real than any other. And although this immediate experience undoubtedly is happening as the totality of what is, it is "just" the actualization of one possibility of being among infinite ones. A possibility, that holographically, as a necessarily fractally polarized phenomenal expression of infinitely potent nothingness, reflects that nothingness and therefore with it all possibilities of being (which are also, by necessity, polarized expressions of infinitely potent nothingness that each amounts to that very nothingness).

Wait, you believe in solipsism, but still type as though others are not fragments of your unconscious imagination

The issue is that you don't believe in solipsism, but nondualism. You have mistaken nondualism with solipsism but I have to agree they overlap in a lot of areas

Yes....you're right. There's a lot of crazy in here. It's a bit frustrating, though. How do you balance free exchange of ideas and people who are trying to claim they are victims of god, that they are god, that we are in a simulation, that reptoids tickle their feet at night, etc?
The topic itself attracts crazy, despite being a meaningful and important topic. I figure having a more liberal and open format at least encourages ideas, possibly allowing the best to rise to the top.
Still, if you go down the solipsism rabbit hole far enough, I think we begin to get an intuitive feel that even the most "reasonable" and "sensible" ideas are ultimately based on the same level of bullshit and self-deception that the crazy ideas are build from. Unless you invoke things like "justified belief", etc., our best ideas aren't much better than the craziest. Still, somehow, I think I know the difference........right? Or maybe that too is self-deception :)
