If we presume the notion that our existence is based on the presumed notion that others know we exist, who actually knows who does and does not exist?

Knowing someone exists is not knowing they exist but knowing they existed.

We do not exist until we no longer exist

But to know we know longer exist we must know that we once existed, thus points to existence after non-existence

Though for one to exist after they no-longer exist one must know they existed, didnt exist then existed again (life to death to life)

This is our Creator. But ironically for him to exist one must know he exists, subsequently ensuring they exist

However we cannot prove a Creator exists

We do not exist

To believe in a Creator is believing in your existence

The Cycle continues...

Huh?? Er, how about,

"I think, therefore I am." René Descartes

Works for me.

To think is to act, a thought is existence

For one to have knowledge of them thinking, they must of thought of them thinking

To know that one is thinking a thought that thought must be thought by others

For others to think your thought points to the notion that existence is based on others knowing that you thought, thus you exist

You understand that your thoughts are well and beyond the common thoughts that are thought out here thus why nobody understands. Your talking a whole new level of knowledge many here will never get.

It's inherently simple actually as it just follows the ideologies of cause and effect. To act and to know you act are two different things. To act is to be impulsive, though to know you've acted suggests knowledge and sentinence.

For one to know they have acted they must understand the effect of their action, be it behavourial, pyschological or environmental

This is what arguably seperates us from the animal world, the ability to act and evidentally consider its effects
