I thought we were talking more about IM? Anyway, I just want to say that subjective reality is more of a perspective -- a useful lens to look through -- than a belief. I don't feel the need to defend it (and I certainly don't belief it's "who I am"), but it is fun to clarify what it actually is, for usefullness' sake (for my own sake). There are plenty of people who don't see the usefulness of this perspective, but at least here in a personal development forum, it's interesting to hone it by clarifying misconceptions or misperceptions.

I imagine the LoA avatars might be thinking in a similar way. When we talk about it (defend or explain or whatever), it's really to help ourselves see things more clearly and to grow.
