So instead of thinking about it in black and white terms we need to think of it more as shades of grey. At the lower ends of the LOC your experience is of a mostly objective world, where everything is separate from you. There is a tipping point between "Courage" and "Neutrality." In these middle ranges your experience is more of a balance between objective and subjective, where you begin to focus on relationships with others and even community. There is another tipping point between "Reason" and "Love". At the higher LOC your experience becomes more dominated by the subjective and you begin to focus on the unity of all things. As you move through the LOC your experience of reality (note the lower case "r") gradually gets closer and closer to true Reality (note the upper case "R") as described my all of the great mystical teachers such as Buddha, Jesus and Krishna so that when you reach the highest state of Enlightenment you are experiencing Reality (note the capital "R") yourself which is purely subjective.
So the reason it is difficult to discuss the concept of objective vs subjective reality with others is because we are all at different LOC so our experience of reality is different. When you are at one LOC you "resonate"  with others at your same level so you tend to flock together, you think the people at a LOC below you are "immature"  and you think that people at a LOC above you are "crazy"  . I put the words "resonate", "immature" and "crazy" in quotes because once you understand this concept you stop judging people for where they are and begin to realize that everyone is in the perfect place for their own personal evolution and that no LOC is better or worse than another. An additional complicating factor to understanding objective vs subjective reality is that our LOC may be evolving during our own lifetime so our experience of reality tends to change on us.
So the bottom line is that your experience of an objective or subjective world is relative to your LOC. So by playing around with the idea of subjective reality you are likely to raise your LOC and you might even jump to the point where you begin to experience your own reality in a totally different way.

Now this is REALLY cool!
Thank you Sunny!
You have helped me to understand something very important.
I believe I am channelling a universal message through music, from God, source (insert label) ... and I find it hard to swallow when some people can not see what I see in certain songs such as common themes of love, fire in our hearts, finding a higher place, spirits rising and all the mention of soul...
I interpret this to be, often in a very synchronistic manner, as though God is speaking directly to me/you... I am aware of oneness and therefore I believe everything to be inspired by source and so when music/lyrics touch my heart, I feel source is talking directly to me. Some music doesn't touch my heart, in fact lots doesn't, but when it does, it really speaks to me.
Before reading your post I was unable to get my head around the blockages I saw in other people. Now I realise that these blockages were mirroring my own blockage, which now unblocked allows me to see that in fact everything is perfect, and the right people, will hear the music that I create and understand the message I am channelling, at the right time, in the right place, for the highest good of all.
And now I can see that as people rise through the different levels of consciousness, more people will relate to the music in the way that I do. I often get 'crazy' comments, and would then look upon those people as 'stupid'.... which is a silly cycle in itself, so thank you again for helping lift me out of that cycle and giving me an outlet to try and explain to people differences in the levels of consciousness. I only hope I can do so without sounding "better" as I know I am not, yet I understand that my soul is more evolved and I hope I can gently speak my truth, whilst standing in my power.
Any advice on dealing with that situation would be really appreciated...
