I only recently joined this community and am just beginning to pour through these discussions threads. I am excited and curious about "Subjective Reality". I don't think I've ever heard the "experience" described that way.
I have indeed stepped over to the other side and beleive in subjective reality, however I am a waffler - is that a word
I have not given up parts of "my story" my objective reality that I still beleive defines who I am. I beleive in part that my objective reality isn't so bad, at least more often than not. Yet I continue to be drawn to what lies on the other side, the subjective side. What intrigues me right now is the idea of impact.
We all have some kind of impact on each other, on our environment, on everything. I know its an objective question to ask, what is your impact? Yet I know that my impact is different when I allow subjective reality to define who I am or not. My impact dramatically changes. In particular, and often with little effort, I notice the most striking experiences in my personal relationships. Most notably, I become aware of a deep, intimate connection with the person or people I'm with.
Now this often scares or angers people who are comfortable with Objective reality, they find the experience uncomfortable, annoying or at best confusing. Those who are comfortable with subjective reality love the experience, they feel seen, loved, and often want more.
I should say there is often confusion about these experiences even with people who invite and embrace subjective reality, I know I've been confused plenty of times. To be seen and loved that way is powerful, its like nothing most of us have ever experienced, at least not without the use of drugs.
I'm curious if others have had this experience and if so, what have you discovered about yourself?
