I'm not sure if that describes it correctly, but here's what I've been thinking about the past few days...

There's a possibility that the universe is nothing more then what my "mind" makes it out to be. You are all part of my imagination. In fact, outside of totse, you don't even exist. You will only exist if I were to meet you, and then my mind would insert traits of your's I picked up on totse and that would be how you'd act in person. As I sit in this room, nothing outside my field of vision, hearing, smell, etc, is really going on. The radio's on, but that doesn't mean there's a radio station that exists, I see no proof of it. My mind will only create it if I drive there and actually see it.

Knowing this, it is most likely possible I can influence the way things go. I'm starting to see more of this now, perhaps because I'm getting older, just learning how to use any power I have, if you will. My subconscience mind has already set rules for the universe that I can't break. For instance, I can't make a car driving down the street suddenly disappear. Not without explanation anyway. However, maybe I can make it turn a certain way, slow down, go faster, or get in an accident.

All this is just a theory of course. My question to you is if there's any way to disprove this. And if it were true, how would it change my outlook on life? Would I not care about anyone else because I look at them and their personality as just pieces of my imagination?

Your theory is incorrect, and I used to ponder the same thing out of boredom. However, the ironic twist to this theory is that it that no one can prove it incorrect. Because no matter what I state or do, there is always a logical explination within the realms of your theory. You're just going to have to trust me on this on.

Hahaha, but I can't. I mean, what if I had thought of this when I was very young, and no one had ever told me different. It would seem quite natural and make a lot of sense. It's mind boggling.

Look up Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts. "You create your own reality" is therein advanced.

No my mind is the one that makes the universe. Not yours.

I think you are partly correct. The only thing I'd disagree with is the ability of one mind to create the universe. If you could do that would you seriously have any trouble at all with the dissapearance of a car? Fuck no. Take some mushrooms my friend, you will get a glimpse of the power of human beings. You might even be able to seriously effect your reality. However, after the whole thing is over, you will talk to the people who were around you and they will likely argue with you over the events you seemingly altered.

What I am saying is that we might create reality as a group. Or, there is the overmind idea.
