Hello everyone. Here are some more thoughts of my own; though I recognise that I'm not the first to discuss such issues. But I am confident that I will bring some originality to this forum. So please feel free to engage in intelligent debate...
I equate 'our' existence with Heidegger's concept of Dasein: 'we' are being. But 'we' are not the ~doing~. Causality emanates from the same source which yields 'we'... which by default, is not 'we'. Solipsism dies a death unless it acknowledges that God is the source of 'we-ness'. That the identity of each individual is God itself.
Monistic-Idealism or Monism (as I believe my/this philosophy is technically-labelled) finally makes sense of the processes occuring when 'an observer' collapses ~the wave~ of any potential state-of-being (particles). So this philosophy makes sense of QM.
Apparently, a thing is only 'a thing' when we say that it is. Until that moment, that thing (particle) exists purely as a potential to exist - a wave of existence. The vast majority of these 'things' behave in a way that is "probablistic", infering that there is an order being imposed upon the unpredictable-energy of existence, but also infering that it is imposed by that very energy of existence, to itself: Self-order.
Energy which is potentially free to go wherever it wants, but which generally conforms to a specific order (probability), must be self-conforming to that order. I.e., doing what it decides to do.
And I am not advocating that particles have intelligence, since there is no such thing as a particle until seen in the subjective-awareness of a material-reality. I am, however, advocating that the potential-energy to have being anywhere within your perception, is The Mind exercising its own intelligence and will through awareness - placing itself [as particles, etc.) where it decides they shall go.
'Monism' finally makes sense of 'an observer' who can come to know things.
The ability of any observer ~to know~ is dependent upon that observer's inherent faculty to reason.
Whatever this ability to reason is, we can see that it had to be in us before anything was ever conciously-understood. There cannot be concious knowledge without the prior concious-ability to reason knowledge.
... So, the ability to know anything is dependent upon the ability to know everything, prior to unveiling anything.
Reason before knowledge is an inescapable fact. Our concious minds had the ability to understand everything (certainly everything which we have thus-far unveiled by reason) before they ever came to comprehend anything.
This begs the question as to how the brain would have the ability to reason prior to knowing anything. Any takers? Can material processes create a brain which can reason about things before it sees those things?
Monism can also make sense of Einstein's Laws of Relativity whereby values of existence, such as 'a second' or 'a meter' or 'the speed of light' always mean the same to the individual, but change qualitatively as we compare our experiences (twin-paradox, for example) of our own motion/velocity through our perceived-universe. Yet our experiences as a whole can be expressed with mathematical-equations for that whole. These are the same for everyone. So, even though the perception of space & time is qualitatively-different for everyone - infering that we're all seeing the universe differently - our separate awarenesses share a common mathematical bond to one another. Therefore, we are all immersed in the same thing somehow... completely sharing an identical existence, subjectively-distorted by our own actions/motion through what we perceive.
I could write all night about this stuff. This post is about gaining attention. I thankyou if I got yours.
