Is Reality Subjective or Objective?

6 replies
A lot of people want to believe they create their own reality, but then give their power away to the circumstances they allow to affect them.

They're constantly straddling the line of feeling empowered... and afraid.

Is that you?

Are you stuck in between two worlds?

It's difficult, isn't it?

One day you feel like you're on top of the world and believe you can manifest everything you could EVER want...

...and the next day you're wondering HOW you'll pay those bills weighing heavily on your shoulders.

So what's The Truth?

Is reality subjective... or objective?

Are you just pretending you're an empowered being who is capable of creating your reality?

Or...

Are you simply in denial about how scared sh!tless you are of the big, bad out there?

Are you harboring the fears that reality will crush you... if you drop your guard for just one split second?

Sadly, the amount of spiritual warriors who want to believe they create their own reality end up spending their lives battling their own internal conflict...

...all the way to the grave; only witnessing glimpses of their REAL power.

Let me cut to the chase:

Reality is BOTH subjective AND objective.

Because reality is a mirror that effortlessly reflects all of the limiting beliefs and judgments you've accumulated throughout the course of your life.

The thing is...

You're so focused on what's happening out there that you'll rarely have those moments when you come to that conclusion on your own.

And instead of acknowledging that you're creating everything that you experience, you try to paint over what YOUR reality is currently reflecting with something better.

But how can you believe you create your own reality, if you don't acknowledge you've already manifested everything you are and have?

How can you possibly have everything you dream about... until you celebrate and appreciate how powerful you are to created such an amazing experience, RIGHT NOW?

You can't.

You won't.

You'll continue straddling that line between wanting to believe reality is subjective...

...but feeling uncontrollably afraid that it's really objective.

All the while, you're creating every bit of it.

To put it in terms more relevant to the I.M. Community...

...You won't have that massive breakthrough with your online business and realize your dream of financial freedom, no matter how mind-blowing your product or service is, until you acknowledge you created all of the hardship and lack you're reacting to.

In other words...

You are the cause and reality is the effect.

And amazingly enough, the moment you start acknowledging your power in ALL of the reflections you've created in your reality, all of the stuff you've been reacting to begins to dissolve.

The bottom line is...

You're not here to attract the experiences you want into your reality.

You create your reality instantaneously and simultaneously with your ATTENTION.

No intention required.

In fact, intentions only convince you that creating your reality is hard.

But that's a story for a different time.

To Your Inevitable Success!

P.S. What if everything you ever wanted is already yours and all you have to do is acknowledge your power everywhere that you've given it away? Hmmmmm.......

    I think it really depends on the person concerned. For me it's objective.

    Subjective.

    Even the "rules" can be broken. Can't fly with the body you've got? Invent an airplane.

    Don't have the contacts to make money with affiliate marketing? Change your mind, take action and do things that attract those partners.

    Every change begins with a new thought and your acceptance of that thought.

    People were damn certain the world was flat. Then it suddenly became round. That idea spread like a virus, infecting everyone. What if an idea came along that the world was not really round, but actually a hypercube? (Look it up.) If the facts bore that out, we'd all go along and the subjective reality would change. Check out the history of the models of the atom. They keep getting it wrong. Their models are incomplete. They don't explain all behavior. And they keep drilling down to smaller and smaller particles...the subjective reality is really weird down there. You can see where a thing is going, or where and what it is at this instant, but not both. And the observer affects the experiment by just looking at it. If that's not a subjective reality, I don't know what is.

    How do you perceive other people? Do you live in a friendly or dangerous universe?

    What's important here is not how things actually are, but how we perceive them to be.

      The stuff that creates our individual experience of reality might seem invisible to the naked eye...

      ...but everything is a creation of energy (or the subatomic universe.)

      Amazingly,

      Within every single particle contains the possibility for anything to manifest.

      It's waiting for you, the observer, to shape it into form with your attention.

      That being said...

      Reality can be extremely seductive.

      And if you're on the fence about your manifestation abilities, you'll likely keep recreating the same basic circumstances over and over again...

      ...because reality captures your attention and you keep giving away your power to the stuff you experience, rather than acknowledging you're creating all of it.

      But ask yourself:

      What drives your attention?

      Emotion, right?

      Your beliefs, right?

      Your judgments, right?

      From that perspective, what creates YOUR experience of reality?

      What's happening inside of your body, right?

      And yet, where does the majority of your attention FEEL seduced?

      Out there, right?

      You're trying to change out there, so you can FEEL better, inside, right?

      Wacky.

      To make the conversion more practical...

      If you're struggling to make sales with your product or service, where should your attention be directed?

      Out there?

      Or inside of yourself?

      Okay...

      Well...

      Where do the beliefs that making money is hard come from?

      Where do the judgments that money can only be made from your direct hard work come from?

      Where do the fears reside that tell you, "don't invest too much money in your success... You'll just lose it" come from?

      How about this:

      When someone tells you what you can or cannot do...

      ...where do your reactions come from... and what do they push against to make you feel so intensely?

      D you still think reality is happening out there, functioning objectively, without any input from you?

      Really?

      Of course not.

      Anybody who tells you different is selling something.

      P.S. To the gentleman who said there's no proof that a subjective reality exists, you have a lot of reading to catch up on. Even the mainstream field of physics is in agreement that matter isn't what we think it is. Newtonian Physics hasn't been the accepted conditioning in the upper echelons of science for quite some time. No, you're not just some cog in the machine.

      P.P.S. One of the biggest misconceptions in most spiritual teachings is that you need to learn the tools for manifestation. Not so. You're manifesting every single circumstance you experience. You don't need to learn squat. You just need to acknowledge what you've always been doing... and be a little more conscious about it.

      P.P.P.S. Jason, this wasn't directed at you. I was just giving my response to what you wrote from another perspective.

    Subjective. We create our reality.

    Subjective. I once had a discussion with a guy about the color yellow. He asked me to describe what I saw when I saw yellow. I told him my discription would be meaningless to him because we'd been trained since birth to identify our realites using words. Yellow might be something completely different to everyone with our word-references being the only thing we agree upon.

    I like the way Edgar Alan Poe put it.

    A Dream Within A Dream

    Take this kiss upon the brow!
    And, in parting from you now,
    Thus much let me avow-
    You are not wrong, who deem
    That my days have been a dream;

    Yet if hope has flown away
    In a night, or in a day,
    In a vision, or in none,
    Is it therefore the less gone?
    All that we see or seem
    Is but a dream within a dream.

    I stand amid the roar
    Of a surf-tormented shore,
    And I hold within my hand
    Grains of the golden sand-
    How few! yet how they creep
    Through my fingers to the deep,
    While I weep- while I weep!

    O God! can I not grasp
    Them with a tighter clasp?
    O God! can I not save
    One from the pitiless wave?
    Is all that we see or seem
    But a dream within a dream?

    It is definitely more subjective than objective. There are certain factors that are similar to everyone (the sun, death, etc) but how we perceive them is what makes it subjective.
