Your missing the point. And yes, it does seem like I am only arguing with myself, and that's basically true, everyone is talking to themselves in reality, any sound heard can only ever be an echo of their own voice. Direct hearing is 'embodied awareness', no conceptual explanation needed to realise 'this' only simply listening.
Not really. Does it seem like you are arguing with yourself or are you in reality arguing with yourself? If it seems like you are arguing with yourself, then that means that the reality is that you are arguing with me. In that case, oneness is an illusion and the fact that we are separate is real.
However, if it does not
seem like but is actually a fact that you are arguing with yourself, then there is oneness and you are, in fact, arguing with yourself.
Now we come to the next problem. You say, "everyone is talking to themselves in reality." Who is everyone? And if reality has everyone in it, then oneness is an illusion again. So which is it?
Now you say, "any sound heard can only be an echo of their own voice." If reality is oneness, how can there be an echo, since there is nothing for the sound to reflect from?
Then comes the other problem. You agree that you are, in fact, arguing with yourself. About what? You are oneness. You see it as such. So know that we don't really exist but are just a creation of your own mind. But wait a minute. You don't even have a mind to create us. So how did we come into illusory existence?

Now back to the debate with myself
....how can there be any adventure in life without an action figure to play the role.
Why does oneness need adventure? Indeed, why does oneness need anything? The way you describe it, it is eternal bliss. So why does it NEED? If oneness needs, it is dissatisfied. In which case, there is something missing. Which means it is not perfect and bored. Why is oneness bored?
If oneness is complete in itself, it would not need to create illusions. In which case, no separateness would exist.
If however oneness did create illusions out of itself, it would make damn sure that the illusions never found out that they were illusions. Otherwise the whole purpose of creating the illusions would be lost. In which case an illusion could NEVER find out about the oneness. But if you still found out about the illusions, that means oneness left made a mistake and you broke through it. Could oneness make that mistake? Is oneness fallible? If not, how did you ever figure out that there is only oneness and everything else is an illusion?
So we go to the next possibility that oneness did intend the illusion to find out that it was oneness itself and not separate from oneness. In such a case, one of the illusions just became an observer and got out of the game. So maybe that is the game. To see how long it would take for everyone to figure out it was just a game.
And it gives me a warm feeling to know that we are on this earth as illusions because some guy had nothing better to do, got bored and thought of creating a game with me in it. I exist because oneness is bored. yay! I know the meaning of life.
Of course we still have to deal with the part where you have not given any proof of this theory, just made a proclamation which we are supposed to take for the eternal truth just because it came from you.
