Paradigm:Autopoesis of Reality

Autopoesis of reality, projection (non-phychiatric), reality creation, and certain forms of solipsism are terms that may encapsulate the complex concept that an aware entity creates their experiences. There are at least two types of this paradigm, the first mostly synonymous with solipsism, wherein the one who is creating their experiences also creates everything that goes along with it, or has a large part of orchestrating whole experienced events. In some fully adopted belief systems of solipsism people may even experience reality in which they believe they are creating other persons, places, and everything else. The second type is one of sympoesis with others, reality co-creation, where each person creates their own experiences in a multi-dimensional mesh or unified field of all experiences of all beings intertwined.

In Buddhism
In the Zen tradition there is a famous tale attributed to a Chinese Zen teacher named Hogen[1] which addresses solipsism, especially in the materialist view where the locus of experience is grounded in the brain.

"There was once a Chinese Zen teacher named Hogen, who lived alone in a small temple in the country. One day four traveling monks appeared and asked if they might make a fire in his yard to warm themselves. While they were building the fire, Hogen heard them arguing about subjectivity and objectivity. He joined them and said, 'There is a big stone. Do you consider it to be inside or outside your mind?' One of the monks replied, 'From the Buddhist viewpoint everything is an objectification of mind, so I would say that the stone is inside my mind.' 'Your head must feel very heavy,' observed Hogen, 'if you are carrying around a stone like that in your mind'."
