When we are addressing the issue of how we "know" whether we are not the only "thing" all we need to do is consider the question of whether there even is another. The moment this question arises in our unconscious is the moment we make that a reality since IF we have the power to consider whether another exists, then IF we are the only thing that exists and we are operating in a vacuum, this would give US the power to create, even if it is just in our imagination. Since consciousness as well as the unconscious is subjective, we must rationally presume that we are not the only sentience that exists if even for our imagination of representation of such sentience. Since sentience is reliable according to us (this should be self evident), and since basically everything that is sentient follows a hierarchy, it should not be much of an assumption to think we are not the greatest common factor of sentience. As we follow a hierarchy within our own kin (and within our own minds i.e. consciousness and unconsciousness) it seems likely there is some other greater sentience that we are merely a part of.
That's a lot to unpack..but..what makes that very last sentence follow from anything that preceded it, or even the last half of the sentence follow from the first?
Is there anything more than your floating likelihood behind this belief, an indication of some greater sentience of which we are a component part?
