What Is Subjective & Objective Reality?steemCreated with Sketch.

The concepts of Subjective and Objective Reality seem to be eluding the general public. How have we gotten to a state in which we believe that which is fantasy and reject the reality? I would say the answer is in the mirror of every individual on Earth. It is very important that we all have a deep understanding of the difference between Subjective & Objective Reality.

Subjective Reality

First, let's start with Subjective Reality. Subjective, meaning: lacking in reality or substance: Illusory. There are many, many subjective principles in play in society that the human race not only believes in, they dedicate the majority of their life force to them, and would even bet their very existence on them. Don't believe me? Let's take a look at some of the predominant subjective concepts that are popularly accepted as objective in our "advanced" and "modern" society.

Money

Money is an illusory, subjective concept. The value of money is subject to the belief in it's value, it holds no intrinsic value in and of itself. Every dollar bill, if taken into objective account, would hold little to no value at all. Money is traded for things of objective, intrinsic value. The value of money is subject to the value placed upon it by intent (someone prints a bill that says it is worth $100 on it), and further substantiated by, and subject to, the collective agreement (or belief) of this value (all of us agree it is worth $100). I bet all the people in countries experiencing hyper inflation still think their currency holds value. Unfortunately the rest of the world would not agree. $200,000 for a cup of coffee anyone? Money is a totally subjective idea that is considered objective by humanity.

Authority

The concept of unquestionable or divine right authority is a false concept created by psychopaths with the intent to use this concept to enslave and control others. You can not be born into a family blood line or social status class which grants you authority over other living sentient beings. Nor can you be granted authority over others from those whom do not hold such authority. This is an illusory concept subject to the belief of humanity. I do not have the Right to tax, regulate or imprison you. Yet I can delegate these Rights to government? Then government, now having authority granted by me, can appoint other individuals to commit acts for which I do not have the Right on my behalf? This is a fantasy backed by the collective consciousness of society. It is a reality subjective to belief. No person has any authority over any other person. Period.

Man's Law

Man's law is subjective legislation that can change based on any number of variables, including; geographical location, the whims of those in power, in support of ulterior agendas, etc. A law is immutable, unchangeable. A law is objective. Man's law is subject to man and is not even law, they are rules, or the rule of man - which is based in the illusory concept of false authority and is subjective to our belief systems. This is a fact.

Objective Reality

Concepts that make up our Objective Reality would be the immutable and unchangeable Laws of Nature, or Natural Law. There are many Natural Laws, some physical and some... we'll just call conceptual for now.

A couple examples of physically manifesting Natural Laws are;

  • Gravity
    Gravity is a Law. It doesn't matter what you believe or that it can be countered against. This Law exists always in Nature. Whether you believe it or not, you can fall. Gravity will always pull you towards the Earth.

  • Polarity
    Everything has it's polar opposites. This is physically apparent in hot/cold and light/dark. These are not different things, rather the presence or absence of the one thing. Light/dark is the presence or absence of light energy. Hot/cold is simply the presence or absence of heat energy.

In being objective, these Laws are in no way subject to any forces of man. Now let us take a look at some of the conceptual Natural Laws that exist objectively in Nature, yet are considered subjective by humanity.

Intrinsic Value

Although considered subject to the value of currency, items of intrinsic value hold objective value which is indisputable. Let's take wood for example. Supposedly the value of wood rises and falls with supply and demand and the fluctuating values and inflation of currencies. What if society, with all the structures we rely on, did not exist? Would trees still provide oxygen, prevent erosion and provide many other contributions to the global ecosystem? Could lumber still be used by man and animal alike to build suitable dwellings and structures? Could wood still be used as a heat and cooking source? Could it still be used to fashion tools and toys and many other things? Of course it could. Wood holds intrinsic value that is not subjective, it is objective. This would apply to anything else of intrinsic value, such as food, materials for clothing, energy sources, natural resources... strangely all owned, controlled and regulated by subjective authorities.

Sovereignty

Every person is a Sovereign Being. This is an objective Law. There is no authority that can take this away and you can not sign your sovereignty away. All you are doing when consenting to slavery is contributing to slavery by enslaving yourself - all of which is subjective. None of this would negate the Natural Law objective fact that you, me and everyone else always has been and always will be Sovereign Beings.

Morality (Law)

There are forces (Laws) which are in play in Nature that determine a physical outcome based our decisions and actions. I recently made a post in which I delve deeper into Natural Law, as well as make a recommendation to Mark Passio who provides extensive information on this topic. Check my post out here. We have traded our understanding and alignment with Natural Law, which is objective, for compliance with man's law, which is subjective. The evidence of our shortsightedness is ever apparent in the the global condition. Natural Law (True Morality) is not subjective. Man does not determine what is right or wrong, nor do they dictate and delegate Rights.

Waking Up

Until we can recognize true from false, fantasy from reality, objectivity from subjectivity, we will be basing our existences off of false pretenses. How can we expect to live in direct violation of Natural Law and Objective Reality and expect to live a a happy healthy existence in a stable, abundant society? I recommend checking out The Kybalion, as well as a study of Hermetics and Alchemy. All assist in understanding the Laws of Nature and and balancing ones self in alignment with such. All it takes is a choice to change and illusory subjective concept into nothing. Reality is ours.

Peace Everyone
