why should I believe that anyone else exists?

Dustin,
You answered your own question in your previous post, referenced below.
....but I believe the quote excerpted from the 2nd reference, nails it:
Of ourselves we have no being ... no reality. We are individual manifestations of Life ... of that which is God! ‘We’ are not ‘plugged’ into Life ... we are ‘Its’ ‘outlets’ ... and ‘Its’ thoughts are colored by ‘Its’ perception of itself as being John or Jane Doe ... the ‘person’ we see ourselves as being. God is your reality ... your true identity. This is why it appears as though the ‘human’ consciousness is creative.
This is why "Meditate unceasingly, that you quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence" from Lahiri Mahasaya, the Guru of Yogananda's Guru.....is true....when you think about "Who you, and all of us, really are", when viewed from the correct perspective.
Love thy neighbor as thyself because thy neighbor is Thyself.

You don't have to. Look up solipsism.
But does it really matter?

Well, that was kind of the point of a thread I started last month...
We are always talking to ourselves!
I'm with you, Dustin. 
When we realize we are all that is....related to the placement of this topic...
that is when we really come into our power to manifest...because we are
a drop in the Ocean of All That Is.
Very exciting.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

If you believe what you see, others exist.
If you don't believe what you see, others don't exist.
You have the free-will to choose one of those point of views.
Choose the point of view that suits you best.
The point of view that feels comfortable. |

I don't really exist. I am an imaginary friend.
I'm not saying that to be snarky, I'm saying that to be silly. Truth is, it's all about choice, as it so often is.

Dustin when you receive a kiss with Pure Love from a soul mate, you will know that people indeed exist =)

Hey guthrio thanks, you always give great responses. I well have to take some time to digest the response you gave me as well as some of the others that you have sent me. I have not yet had the time to really take in the older one's that you send me, just been busy moving around and stuff. Also as far as asking answering my own question in a previous post, that's kind of how my mind works I well go indepth on a subject, walk away from it and then revisit it in the future to see if there was anything i missed. Also it's always nice to see if anyone else has a fresh perspective that I haven't yet considered-so thanks again for the great information, I well get to it when I am able.

For me personally it doesn't matter but I would like to continue the effort to unfold the understanding of religion or mediphysics into more of an exact science and so the question becomes one that has importance or baring upon the end result.
