Default Re: what can you prove to actually exist?

'What can you prove to actually exist within your internal model of external reality?'
Being human is a humbling and sometimes hectic experience. Logic tells you that a godlike entity exists but is unable to communicate in basic human terms. Furthermore, to experience communication from the beyond is usually a taboo topic to talk about amongst your peers. Ironically, communication with other logical people is a soughtafter and fulfilling experience for people to do. So what to do if logic tells you that you are merely an internal model? I understand this solipsism and my response is 'to believe in what you see and feel to be real.' To push the boundaries of your own existence and seek further an enlightening experience is worth a soul's work, but at the end of the day will probably push you further from the comforts of friendship. External reality, although unattainable by man, is clearly governed by a lawful and altogether benevolent supernatural force. The internal subjectiveness and uniqueness of the sapiens genus can be humourous, though-provoking, scary, confusing, or any of a spectrum of emotions. What can you really prove to exist? Proof is merely an agreement, or else it's what you make it. Consider the allegory of the blind men and the elephant, each giving a brief testimony of their thoughts on the creature and adding to a collective proof of what the creature is.
