Reality is at odds with consciousness. Our dreams are
inconsistent, reality is
consistent. In our minds we want things
immediately, in reality, things just happen how they occur. God wouldn't submitt himself to harm if he exists, because logically, all evidence shows that living things protect themselves.
Because you cannot feel others' thoughts doesn't mean they don't exist. From my perspective, this universe is all
my dream, because I can't feel your thoughts. Get your lil feeler out and look at those lil happy babas enjoying toys. How can you say they are robots!! I, like you, cannot feel their minds with my baba feeler. Everybody has the same problem!
The fact is, that
if you were God, then you would always make it so that you could get what you want eventually
Since you don't always get what you want and you've ended up this way, you cannot be God. That's a pretty solid conditional implication because any God worth his salt just wouldn't be that stupid. Cetainly he wouldn't be able to make such an elaborate playstation game called, "Guido Arbia".
I cannot grasp the fact that they are conscious beings such as myself
Neither can anyone, fully, because your consciousness is limited
to your being. If anything, this is an evidence that people WHO ARE CONSCIOUS, are limited to their own bodies. This detachment, actually evidences that because of your complete inability to feel their consciousness, they must have their own, because if it wasn't theirs you'd be able to feel it.
If they were you, they would act exactly how you do, and not be able to perform brilliantly, according to diversity within conscious beings. Because they out-perform your consciousness in many areas, and don't mimic your abilities, then logically this suggests that people therefore have their own consciousness. Perhaps you cannot do art. If you take a course you'll improve, but you'll never be DaVinci.
You've got to acknowledge that nobody has a "feeler". We can only empathize by putting
ourselves in other people's shoes. Everybody, like you, considers that they are the one's with the only consciousness, and that it is all a dream. If it is, another consciousness would have had to imprison us in this dream. If you are God, then you'd simply wake up.
You have to start thinking logically, and read over this post, instead of getting worried and confirming the delusion.
Hope this helped.
