Excellent Metaphysical thoughta about mind and Soul(Self). Random Reflections. : Solipsism.[i] by Niyuta

Solipsism.[i] 1 Mind as I am known; I perceive That is known to me and none other. It exists in me but not in the minds Of outsider’s; it’s my own domain. 2 What do I then interact with? I know not, but do experience. “Summum bonum” [ii]says Cicero. I know not; yet omniscience I am. 3 Human mind; an organ or concept? Sapients can’t find it in the physical form. Yet claim: mind controls thoughts.  I don't know that; yet omniscient I am. 4 All knowing but not participating I am. ‘Primordial Self’ the Vedanta describes, ‘Ruh,’ the Hebrews of Bible call.  The Self, that participates not; yet I’m omnipresent. 5 ‘Esse est percipi’[iii] says a Philosopher. But about whom does he speak? Not of me; I know he knows me not. A riddle of an Oracle of Thebes indeed!     Author Notes [i] Idea that only one's own mind is sure, knowledge of anything outside (external world) is doubtful. Source-Wikipedia. [ii] A Latin Phrase meaning: "The highest (ultimate) good." First introduced by the Roman Philosopher-Cicero. Source Wikipedia. [iii] A Latin phrase literary meaning-"To be, is to be perceived." George Berkley espoused this argument famous as 'Master Argument' about anything that a person perceives exist only in his or her mind. Source-Encyclopedia Britanica.
