There are many interesting points raised within this short paragraph of yours ...

I don't think any human can be completely objective, but we can be more, or less, objective. That is, we can take on views and factors from outside our own personal reality. Yes, I understand that once we become aware of something then it enters our subjective reality. However, only in some respects. There is always a reality outside our own.
And this outside reality can sometimes impose itself onto our subjective reality. For example in an earthquake, or in the case of one individual using the power of suggestion upon another.
