No truth is wholly objective.

If I say “dogs exist” but someone else believes that all dogs I see are “wolves” and not “dogs” then as far as they are concerned I am wrong.

I could give them a book showing the differences in dog and wolf anatomy but that assumes they will accept the differences are big enough to agree that they are two different animals which they won’t unless it fits their belief of evidence or they face social pressure to accept my belief as the truth.

@withoutclass The subjective mind is part of the objective, physical world.

What you see is based on social constructions. If I see a chair then that may be my view of what a chair is but to someone else it is a ‘stool’ not a ‘chair.’

The eyes do not simply ‘see things’ or ‘not see things’, seeing is a spectrum. Is turquoise green or blue? It’s subjective. If one person cannot ‘see’ certain colours that doesn’t mean that they aren’t looking at them.

@withoutclass Without the concepts of ‘chair’ or ‘stool’ there are no chairs or stools because to create a chair or a stool one has to have a concept of what ‘chair’ or ‘stool’ is.

If humans are no longer around, the existing chairs and stools may stick around, but then they’re not chairs or stools anymore, they’re now whatever nature decides to do with them which could be ‘home for a termite.’

So the psychological overlay or concept is integral to the physical reality.

@withoutclass That there is no chair without the concept of a chair is no different to saying that without water there is no physical reality of a plant.

The concept from the physical brain is an ingredient of the chair.

If concepts did not exist in physical reality as water exists in physical reality then the physical form of a wooden chair would be no different to any other wood.

If a bee’s behaviour did not exist in physical reality then a bee hive would not manifest.

@withoutclass Without the human observer called a ‘sitter’ the object referred to as a ‘chair’ would no longer be a ‘chair’ because there is no longer a sitter around to maintain that object as a ‘chair.’

Calling a chair ‘wood for fireplace’ might lead to a chair being broken down and used as wood on a fire so the observation can influence the form of the physical object.

@withoutclass Concept is the action which triggers the subsequent action of manifesting that concept physically.

You don’t have the action of carrying out a thought without the initial action of the thought to carry it out.

An object cannot be an object without an observer to distinguish it as an ‘object’ from empty space.

The physical environment includes the mind so the thoughts (the concepts) are part of the physical world.

@withoutclass If thoughts truly are part of the physical world then why does one feel as though they are separate?

Because it is the instinct of all things to control or dominate their environment.

When we say something is not us (i.e the physical world) what we’re really saying is that it is foreign to us. It does not adhere wholly to our will and therefore we do not accept being the same as it.

But the other perspective that we are one with it is equally true.

Life is continuously trying to see how far it can push us towards the edge.

If we believe that there is a huge amount of energy required to push back against what is pushing us then there will be.

If we don’t believe there is huge effort required then there won’t be.

If one sees past the illusions, the schemes will not end there because life is continuously trying to push us away, and no matter how aware one might be, one is bound to fall into the same trap.

There will come a day where words such as ‘Disordered’ and ‘Mental Illness’ will be as frowned upon as ‘Deaf and Dumb’, ‘Imbecile’ and ‘Idiotic’ are now.

And the facilities, authority figures and other tools used to convert or section non-conforming members of society will be as equally frowned upon as Victorian psychiatric practices are now.

Someone can only have more than you if you agree that they have more.

The entire financial system is built around the premise that we all mutually agree that individuals and companies are worth more than others.

You cannot criticise someone for having too much without valuing them as having too much.

Why not just accept that real wealth is not money but the feeling which we expect to accompany it?

Humans by default tend to perceive happiness as control over their own existence.

They may gradually become conditioned to think that controlling their own life means conforming to society.

If one bases their happiness solely on materialistic things for instance, one will contribute more to the economy than if one bases it on what is readily available.

The more one bases their happiness on what society defines to be happiness, the less happy one will be.
