Tantrika got it though.
The 2 Truths teaching. It’s helps, a lot. Think of it as a skillful means to understanding it all, that helps us stay sane. While giving us a means to reconcile and even coalesce the mundane relative truth and the Supramundane absolute truth into a single whole with 2 sides.
The brains capacity for compartmentalizations sure comes in handy sometimes 
Am mostly having problems at present comprehending solipsism
the existence of the experiencing entity is known to be real by the fact that it is experiencing but the experiences are defined as not real; or not really occurring
this "makes sense" as part of broader philosophies that incorporate a sort of system of "two truths" the reality that is experienced is real in so far as it is created by the entity to be experienced it has no real reality, but it has a provisional reality that validates the experience of the entity
solipsism seems to imply the experiences do not take form even as a provisional reality yet they are recognized as having sufficient form to provide verification of the existence of the entity experiencing them but then they are afterward not considered to have any reality, even as an extension of the entity
so, somehow, it seems like the existence of the entity is only being verified by non-reality which would imply that the entity is itself non-real, but the philisophical system seems to argue that implication is not valid as the entity is the only real thing

It doubts the existence of anything external to you. Which begs the question of how your mind made anything without knowing about it. I mean how do you build a house if you have never seen it

but does it recognize it as an "internal" reality being experienced as external? really not comprehending how the tradition explains lived experience
In Advaita Vedanta, nothing is actually external to the Brahman/Atman tho it's experienced as externalities for the sake of creating experiences
to me the question isn't really of the making without knowing throw chaotic forces at each other long enough and they stick as temporary magnitudes of order that seem comprehensible even if all the connections comprising them are transient
building a house is really just a function of deciding there needs to be a surface overhead, or more properly a closed space and then recognizing how to support those requirements relative to Earth's physics
the more interesting question to me would be why so much adheres to something such as Earth's physics if it's all just made in the mind, why have any degrees of consistency at all?

We cannot break through into the intrinsic spaciousness of our mind stream unless we suspend our belief in conventional reality as real and true. Moral truth, scientific truth, assumptions about the actual content of our sensory experience, all must be subsumed under the heading of 'lies', 'falsehood', 'unreality'.
The entire belief system by which we relate professionally, socially and sexually, domestically and personally, must be undermined, deconstructed and rendered ineffectual. Every belief system is hypothetical, a superficial construction, capable of replacement by an alternative set of beliefs. It is all delusion. It is deceiving, duplicitous, spurious fiction. It is a lie. In that way, by rejecting fact as 'true', we begin to relieve ourselves of the density and heaviness, not to say bigotry, of our beliefs about the nature of reality.
All a lie, even solipsism. All subsuming lie, regardless of a character on your screen that is spelled Thanatos10 and the word appearing beside the name, regardless of what they say - those squiggles of text composed of a sequence of 1’s and 0’s- they are all lie.
Labels are for the birds, reality is hyper-nameless and not a word can be said of it in its true nature. Mere approximation, performed by an ignorant, highly fallible human animal of the mammalian type - subject to delusions, illusions, and a host of hindrances and distractions. All attempts to speak of it are symbolic at best. ****
Without 2 truths doctrine , we would have to stop right there, at least in a philosophical debate or any debate or discussion in which we all have agreed to terms and their definitions before hand.

None of it is really a lie and I wouldn’t say two truths is a thing as it implies an absolute that doesn’t seem to exist. Our models aren’t exactly fiction, they are true in a relative sense as relative truth is all we have. Reality isn’t nameless as much of it has been figured out in regards to how it works, it’s just the quantum world that gives hiccups.
You can’t say solipsism is a lie and as for the nature of reality solipsism posits it as unknowable. Rejecting all that doesn’t tell you what reality is, it just leads to a certain experience.
Not to mention your first segment is the problem of solipsism, your whole post doesn’t really solve solipsism as much as ignores it. You say solipsism is a lie without evidence, same with everything else. Your words can’t be trusted either because they are based on experience.
Also based on your words it sounds like you want to keep me in suffering and in disconnect from those I love

The thing that seems to make solipsism the most untrue/impractical/boring as a philosophy for me is that it takes a position of certainty on the unknowable
while solipsism makes certain the claim that nothing exists outside the entity Madhyamaka asks the question whether things can be known to exist, or even the entity -- the position is that both are uncertain because they depend on each other can't have experiences without an experiencer; no real experiencer without experiences
that is where the two-truths becomes of interest to me it starts asking questions of the implications of reality; recognizing the ultimate emptiness of reality while examining what that emptiness means for the lived experience

Maybe we’re all figments in the imagination of someone else. Someone who has an imagination that is so complex that it can sort of turn loose what it imagines and in an exercise of meditation let what it imagines take on a life of it’s own. And that someone sits back and for a period of time, lets those figments run free.

I'm still terrified of the concept of rebirth, despite being able to find logical flaws with it and not personally holding a belief in it ideas and concepts can get fucky in how they play with the brain sometimes
let's not even start with OCD causing me to perform actions in attempts to offset imagined reprecussions even if we provisionally think of the actions performed as being real

I really admire the humility you show in this post.

It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe
