what if everybody was only alive in their own mind? like, all the people and things you see are just your conscious perceiving the things it wants to perceive? like what if its like the matrix, only its not like youre plugged into a machine and interact with people that are also in the machine. i mean like maybe God gives you the very basic truths and lets your mind create your own lies? so everyone has a fair chance to discover the truth and the only deceit present are the lies you tell yourself? so all your friends, are real people, but you havent met the real them yet. youve only met the copy your mind made of that person. so when you both die you meet each other, and get along just like you thought you would, but theyre not the same as the way you perceived them? all the problems in the world, are the problems you perceive that would come from the masses of self-deceived people, and its up to you to choose the truth. i dont mean everyone is right or telling the truth- i mean if i find the truth in my mind, and other people find the truth in their minds, then in my mind i perceive them finding out the same things? and the people who dont find the truth in their minds, i perceive as believing the lies i create in my mind.
