Well, I’m not exactly a subscriber to solipsism (first time hearing the term). I’m still a bit new to all this so was just trying bounce some ideas around and see what other views there are.
But if we understand the idea that reality is consciousness/awareness taking the form of experiences, then we really can’t stray too far off from the truth. That being, the only fundamental truth is awareness itself. Everything else under the umbrella of possibility is true/false in a relative sense. So, things like what we are talking about now, come down to choice. Whether or not it’s one we remember or a long forgotten one of the past, it still is a choice. Re-reading what you wrote at the end there, I’m seeing that we’re ultimately saying the same thing :)
Also in regards to Rupert Spira, I’m wondering if you’ve ever heard of Greg Goode as well. His books ‘Standing as Awareness’ and ‘The Direct Path’ got me started on all this, and that’s what connected me to Rupert Spira. I even see he’s listed in the ‘friends’ tab of the website you linked, so if you’re looking for a good read, check him out

I agree. There’s a lot of choices and options available to you and that’s the beauty of it.

Ah yeah, Greg Goode is a boss. I’ve read his “Standing as Awareness” book but I’ve not read his “Direct Path”. Really helpful book though, his explanations are cutting edge and very easy to understand. In fact I should probably check out his “Direct Path” book for a quick mental brush up.
