If we suppose there is an inside, then there must also be an outside (in the world of duality). But these are just labels anyway. Do they really
mean anything?
How about, "There is just what
is, neither inside nor outside".
We, individually,
appear to direct the flow of our consciousness, apparently inwards or outwards, and draw our own apparent boundaries around it, where we will.
Yes, we could argue that our perception of reality (whatever that is) must always be subjective, by definition, as it is always our personal perception or view which is present, and that is all we have, and there is nothing else ‘outside’ of that.
That may well be our experience, but it does not prove that it is the only valid model of reality; it may not be true for all conditions and circumstances. For example, what will our perception be (if any) when we die?
The bottom line is that we are still experiencing, learning, speculating and drawing conclusions on what reality
might be and what consciousness
might be.
But, that is part of the fun of living (and discussing it on this forum).
