Historical posting: Markus74 acknowledges subjective reality!

If somebody claims that he can perform levitations, then argue with that person please.
I can only speak for myself and I have always said that I'm not interested to apply I-M, because I have everything what I need (and it's not my ambition to fly or do some levitations).



Now, back to the topic of this thread: Feeling lonely in subjective reality.

You see, Curyous, nobody can deny that what we call reality, is only a perceived version of reality.
What we perceive of reality is per definition "subjective reality".

Everybody has his own life, his own perceptions and his own understanding of reality. There are no two people on this planet who have the same "point of view" (in all its meanings!), so if people keep saying that reality is objective, they don't know what they are talking about.

Why should you feel lonely in your subjective reality?
For your own sake, consider people in your reality as real people, because that's the only way to enjoy your life and to learn more about yourself.
Besides, you'll not make many friends if you tell them that they are not real.
