This is the orthodox Upanishadic view, albeit 'God' would not imply monotheism.but be just a handy word. For this there would be no need to suppose that you're unique among sentient beings but just that you are one of them. | |

| Jul 16, 2018 at 14:18 | comment | added | MmmHmm | Proof is merely a means to convince a sympathetic audience. For example, second person solipsism is immediately refuted by a first person perspective upon it, yet nothing can refute first person solipsism to the solipsist. Hence the need to distinguish "what is true" (e.g. facts) from "what is true to you" (e.g. opinions) | |

| May 21, 2017 at 22:17 | comment | added | Conifold | Your doubts are a priori reasonable, but as objections to Descartes's cogito show you can not even "prove" that your own "I" exists, at best you can report some flow of thinking and perceiving (and even that is doubtful since you need to learn what "thinking" and "perceiving" mean first). The "I" is attached to it after the fact and with the benefit of prior interactions with others. Therefore, the certainty distinction between "I" and others is an illusion, nothing can be proved "for certain". | |

| May 21, 2017 at 12:18 | comment | added | user25714 | define "possible"? if you believe that Gods and special beings exist, then in a sense, yes. | |
| May 21, 2017 at 10:02 | comment | added | Swami Vishwananda | The advaita vedanta philosophy says you (your innermost self - but not your ego) are God. When you are perceiving this world, you are perceiving yourself, but in a wrong way. You have to realize your true nature to break the illusion of the world. | |
| May 21, 2017 at 7:31 | comment | added | E... | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism. Also, usually a more useful question than "what do I know for certain" is "what should I rationally believe", as there are many things that we can't irrefutably prove, yet we should still believe. | |
