my mind is the only thing i know exists ..... yes ... that's solipsism ..... mind and transendence of ego .... last post and a mind's contribution in what lies beyond a phenomenon .... well as summed up in the phrase by Descartes "i think therefore i am" or originally "Cogito ergo sum", i am aware of my existence ...... cognition of a phenomenon doesn't fully satisfy as a matter of fact .... there must be something beyond phenomenology .... noumenon (thing in itself) ..... that requires a contribution of human mental capabilities in reaction towards the mental movie theatre .... as far as my humble conviction goes here lies the role of perception in explaining things in themslves (noumena) and not things the way they seem (phenomena) ..... which actually means you and I live in parallel universes ..... see you when we intersect
