Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist
#36
RE: Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist
I've got some questions for you. Please note that I'm not real big into philosophy. If you talk over my head I'll probably just ignore you.

Having come to this conclusion (only mind and its perceptions, correct me if I'm wrong) does this alter in any way the way that you interact with perceived matter or reality?

Does your conclusion allow that each individuals mind is separate from yours or is their mind only a perception of yours?

With this conclusion and your minds awareness of it, can you alter your minds perception of matter or reality? Through properties of your mind alone? i.e. can you alter matter without using other perceived matter? Can your alter another persons mind only by changing your perceptions?

Is this a "it's only what I perceive and think that is significant, therefore I am my own god" position?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
