Description
Vue d'Esprit 4.0 with a bit of finetuning in Photoshop CS2.
Solipsism's dilemma is, of course, that, since we cannot get beyond our own consciousness, how do we know that anything really exists beyond that consciousness? Many, including myself, speak of a "leap of faith." I have no doubt that reality exists apart of myself, but proving it is a different matter...it is, in fact, "Solipsism's Dilemma."

Holy cow Wendy, this is fabulous. I love the way it perpetuates, as if looking in duel mirrors. Definitely a favorite.

It's a nice image, definitely has a feel of "infinity" to it. Though admittedly not an impenetrable philosophical argument, I have always relied on the maxim that solipsism is invalid because if my perceived universe is a construct of my own consciousness, I would think I'd have more hedonistic control over my own pursuits than this; Since I err, and am seemlingly not in control of all things around me, I conclude there is an external created reality greater than myself. It is, as you postulate, a leap of faith, but a reasonable one.
