"The universe is mental, all is mind." – The Kybalion
Have you ever thought about how you maybe the only genuine person in the world? like what if everyone around you even the whole world is just something your mind created? It sounds foolish but it’s one of those things that makes you stop and think.
Think about your day to day life. You wake up and look around and everything feels real. You can see people, hear sounds, touch things, troll people online. But what if all of it is just in your head? What if those people you talk to aren’t real and are just part of your own thoughts? The only thing you know for sure is that you exist, because you can feel your own thoughts.This thought is known as solipsism. It’s the idea that your mind is the only thing you can truly know is real, and everything else might just be a creation of your consciousness. It sounds insane when you first think about it, but it raises a lot of questions about how we experience reality.
It gets more weirder when you try to think about other people. Can you ever really know what they’re thinking? Do they even have thoughts like you? Maybe they do or maybe they’re just characters in your mind. This can make you question everything around you. If you’re the only one who knows what’s going on in your head can you ever be sure anything or anyone else is real?
It does not mean you’re a selfish person though. It’s just that when you think about it, it seems like reality is only real for you in your own head. If your mind is what makes everything 'real,' then is the world outside your mind just something you’re making up as you go? What if each person is living in their own little world, seeing their own version of reality? Then there’s the question of other people’s feelings or actions. If everything around you is in your mind, does it mean the people you interact with don’t have their own minds? Or maybe they do but you’re just creating them.
I think it’s not even about figuring out who’s real and who isn’t. it’s just about realizing that your mind is a lot more powerful than you think. What if everything we experience is just a reflection of our own thoughts and the only thing that’s 100% real is what’s happening inside our own heads?Can we ever really know what’s out there or are we all just stuck in our own little worlds? We might never know the answer, but it is sure something interesting to think about.
