“For existence, it is not necessary that something must be “real�� in our sense of the word but that it exists. Anything that exists, be it an “illusion,�� is existence. Anything that can think about this existence, and this “reality�� or “illusion,�� can identify with it, which confirms its existence regardless of how distorted it is—the existence itself, the thinking, and then I thinking the thinking. That “I,�� whatever it may be, which is doing the thinking, even if it is “not�� Descartes, exists. That is the whole point. It does not matter who is doing the thinking. What matters is that the being capable of recognizing this thinking, irrespective of who is doing the thinking, confirms its “own�� (whatever it may be) existence; otherwise, it would not be able to be wrong, deceived, or anything else.

All that thinks or believes it thinks exists.
I think I am an I and exist even if I am not an I.
Existence is independent of personality.

Not everything that exists thinks.
Nonthinking does not necessarily equate to nonexisting.
But all that exists is powered by the Universal Mind.

We can solve this problem by identifying thought with existence based on our idea that everything is a “thought�� (information) and part of the Universal Mind. Even if my thought, strictly speaking, is not mine—if “I�� am the thought or information, “I�� at least exists as a thought or information (regardless of who or what an I is).

But what about thinking and unthinking thoughts? If my assertion that there is no fundamental dualism between mind and body (matter) is correct and if matter is only a manifestation (as it appears to the senses) of the Universal Mind, then the question is how this mind produces (or can have) unthinking thoughts. If the world is a product of a Mind, then its sole nature and purpose must contain the idea of possibility through development and evolution. The material world is only possible through variety in total diversity, universality, and infinity (as a potential). This variety implies order, and this order means hierarchy.”
