You put your finger on a key notion. K: Solipsism. TC's Big TOE argues against that, quite specific Archived Message

-ally. And answering John L: Yes indeed, a 'god' concept does slip in again, not by the back door but the front. Devoutly religious people at Tom's lectures have told him that his idea of the Larger Consciousness System - the great rendering engine that feeds our perceptions of this evolutionarily-established reality to us, individually, in his hypothesis - tallies quite well enough with their idea of the god to whom they speak. Re-reading my original post on this thread, I see - rather as I expected - that my precis doesn't do full justice to Tom's Big TOE. The best way to get a clearer idea of it - and it's remarkable ability to put all our observations on the nature of reality into one apparently complete, and highly satisfying hypothetical structure - is to study his presentations in depth. Go to his YT channel, and search for his University of Calgary weekend workshop. Lots of other fascinating material on his website too, 'My Big TOE', but the Calgary weekend remains one of the best concise, beautifully-articulated statements of the basics. Be warned! It requires a fair bit of work to get it even basically on board in your understanding. But it's well worth the effort; for dealing with existential angst, amongst a string of other benefits. Try it! BTW, let me underline again that a basic notion of this hypothesis is that the LCS has a great purpose, which we're all given our quasi-independent, free-will endowed personal existence to assist: growing towards love! Sounds like a good idea, dunnit! Why this is an inescapable conclusion of Tom's 35-year methodical experimentations on the nature of consciousness is best clarified by studying his presentations in extended depth. It all hangs together with a deeply satisfying logic.
