DefinitionsNarcissism; Narcissistic; SolipsismSolipsistic; Metaphysical Solipsism
narcissism’: self-love; extreme vanity’. ~ (Oxford
Dictionary). narcissistic: of, pertaining to, or of the nature of narcissism; marked or caused
by excessive self-love’. ~ (Oxford Dictionary). solipsism’: the view or theory that only the self really exists or can be known. [from Latin ‘solus’ sole,
alone + ‘ipse’ self]: in philosophy, the view or theory that only the self really exists or can be known. Now also, isolation, self-centredness,
selfishness. ~ (Oxford Dictionary). Just as a matter of interest: I experienced a period of what I then called ‘extreme subjectivity’ whilst living in the Himalayas in 1984 (I did not know of the term ‘solipsist’ until 1993 when I read an edifying account by Mr. Leo Tolstoy, who went through a period of solipsism, and later wrote at length about his experience) and it is a ghastly state to be in ... those who intellectually entertain the notion, as in a philosophy for example, have obviously never personally experienced the reality of being solipsistic. Put briefly: nothing can be verified (absolutely nothing) as everything (absolutely everything) is ‘my’ creation: to ask
another, for instance, whether they independently exist is an exercise in futility as anything they might say is ‘my’ creation also ... or to
seek psychiatric help, for another example, is to have one of ‘my’ creations prescribe yet another one of ‘my’ creations. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• solipsistic: characterised by solipsism [the view or theory that only the self
really exists or can be known]’. ~ (Oxford Dictionary). Metaphysical Solipsism: subvariety of idealism which maintains that the
individual self of the solipsistic philosopher is the whole of reality and that the external world and other persons are
representations of that self having *no independent existence*. [emphasis added]. ~ (Ledger
Wood, page 295 in ‘Dictionary of Philosophy’; www.ditext.com/runes/s.html#Solipsism). The Third Alternative (Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body) Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
