Solipsism Layer Theory Approx.

6/18/2007
Solipsism can co-exist with any religion. Let's say you get zapped into the world
of Final Fantasy, so Gaia is your god now. Howeer, this world isn't the true
world. !"ay, now let's say that the world you lie in now isn't the true world either, this
means you now hae three layers #at least$. So now let's say that %hristianity is the true
religion of this fa"e world #the &nd layer$.
!"ay, so 'asically you are in a world 'eing watched 'y the &nd layer world. (hey
"now that your god isn't real, 'ut your god is still real from your point of iew. So let's
compare this to a dream, let's say you die in your dream and get reincarnated... 'ut then
wa"e up. )oes that mean reincarnation is the true religion* +ot necessarily in this
world, 'ut in your dream it was. So let's say you die in this world and you go to heaen,
%hristianity was the correct choice apparently. (hen you finally wa"e and now you're in
the third layer, the real world*
+ow, may'e there are new religions in this world, none of them you hae heard of
from preious worlds. Solipsism could 'e een more complex than this howeer, what if
there are more layers* ,ou could continually 'e in dream worlds, and neer truly wa"e
up in the real world. )o you wa"e up when you die, or do you wa"e when the people in
the next world awa"e you* -re you in a pod where you can 'e awo"en* )o the people
in the next world "now you are sleeping* )o the worlds exist in a continual pattern
leading out, or do they exist side-'y-side li"e a maze* .f you can 'e put into a fa"e world
once, you could 'e put into another, continually going down the spiral of /irtual reality/.

(hin" of it li"e 0lato1s %ae. .n 0lato1s cae you only see reflections of the real
world, 'ut once you 'ecome free you are a'le to see that the world you once "new wasn1t
the true world. +ow, you may 'e a'le to realize that the old world you use to inha'it
wasn1t the true world, 'ut how do you "now you weren1t in a cae within a cae* .f you
didn1t "now what shadows were 'efore, how do you "now these aren1t shadows too*
2ay'e they are 3ust more complex shadows than you encountered preiously.
How a'out the way we learn science* Sometimes we find out an old idea wasn1t
the correct one, 'ut does that mean our new idea is the correct one* (here is the concept
of erisimilitude, which means we are getting closer and closer to the correct formula
eery day. 4ould this 'e true for the layers of solipsism* 4ould we one day reach the
true world that can1t 'e further awo"en from* How would we "now* %ould we eer
proe it* (he rules of what wor"s in one world might not wor" in the next.
4hat would this mean for God* God would 'e li"e the "ing of a country. He
would 'e the lord of the land, 'ut once you leae his dimension he would no longer hold
sway. Furthermore, he would cease to exist for you in this new world. He would 'e a
god of the shadows. He would 'e the cae master, and once you leae his cae you hae
risen a'oe him.
Howeer, what of your friends in the cae* )o they dream also of a different
world or is it only you who dreams* )o they wa"e up within another layer than the one
you awa"en from* 4hat if there is a split* 4hat if they split 3ust li"e species split
within the eolutionary tree* 2ay'e we are 3ust sharing a soon-to-'e descendant world
3ust li"e apes and man share a common ancestor. .f this was the case, then there would 'e
no true world5 or would there* 2ay'e only those that wa"e up within this true world
would 'e the real 'eings. Howeer, if this was the case, then others would not 'e a'le to
wa"e up within another world at all, 'ecause wa"ing up would imply consciousness, and
to thin" is to 'e. 6en if you couldn1t carry your memories with you to your new world,
een if you forget your "nowledge of the cae #of the false world$, een if eerything that
others associated with who you were was lost, such as appearance, personality, memories,
etc. you would still 'e you in this awa"ened world as long as you "ept the common
consciousness een if you played the role of an amnesiac.
