Are you Batman? No. You are not Batman.
The sooner you come to terms with this, the sooner the healing can begin.
But do you exist? Do I exist? Are you being deceived to think you exist by a clever Demon? Can a clever demon deceive what does not exist?
short answer, I know I exist because there are choices to be made.
long answer, I know the secrets of the universe, and the data in our atoms is fed multiple data streams to chose from, when we make a choice we are given control over yet another data stream to dictate that decision. that which is not in existence cannot decide anything. however it doesn't mean that things which do not decide things are not existent, just that they cannot know they are existent.
take a stone for example, it's still made of atoms and still contains a bunch of polarities generating fields as it's base components, just the same as us, the only difference is it is merely sent one data stream which merely sustains it in it's current state, for it there is only one way forwards, there are no choices. thus it can never know if it exists unless it ignorantly is programmed to know it.
