    How can you have Self Realization without Solipsism,

    (really and truly) (and without error)

    That,

    The world doesn't exist and doesn't matter and is imagination.
    And other people don't exist and don't matter, and are imagination.
    and I and you don't exist and don't matter, and are imagination.
    But Jesus reports what is beyond the dream,
    what does exist, and does matter, and is meaning,
    that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
    The love of God, the one self which runs through all things,
    of which you are a part. And is the simple same self you know.

    Even that the world I see holds nothing that I want,
    because I want Me and You.

    Would you throw yourself away for the world?

    There is no such thing as nothing, for nothing does not exist.
    But God is Love, and in him all created things must be eternal.

    Only the creations of light are real, and you are a creation of light.

    Child of light, the light is in you.

    Find the light in your mind, and remember yourself, and God the creator of light,
    again.


    Find perfect peace to do this.


    So what about when we disagree?

    What is disagreement?

    "If you will recognize that all the attack you perceive is in your own mind and
    nowhere else, you will at last have placed its source, and where it begins it must
    end. For in this same place also lies salvation."
    - A Course in Miracles, Chapter 12, Section 3

    What of someone meditating on peace, being slapped in the face? I think when you
    manifest love, you shine away your adversary's error; for the fact is "his" error
    is merely and only in _your own mind_. There is no error. But I'm not sure how
    this applies completely when someone declares war or takes violence on you.


    "Birth was not the beginning, and death is not the end"

    "The emphasis of this course always remains the same;--it is at this moment that
    complete salvation is offered you, and it is at this moment that you can accept
    it. This is still your one responsibility."
    - Manual for Teachers, Section 24, Is Reincarnation So?


    There are no mutually exclusive desires in the present.

    So in the present moment, solipsism's so.


    And if we're all One, solipsism's so.

    Yet we're not One in concept, but One in truth.

    And we're not one in death, but one in Life.

    A circle's not a square, and a square's not a circle, yet both can recognize the
    oneness from which they both commence.


    And if there's *only* God, Solipsism's So.


    And when everyone follows Christ's one commandment to love one another, solipsism's so, for love just says "what do *you* want," and receives back, "no,
    what do *you* want."
