Subjective Reality

[pilot_light_out]

I've been amazed for the past couple of months at the subjects of the universal law of attraction, the power of thought, and basically anything dealing with existentialism. I was reading more about the LoA and I came upon the idea of subjective reality. I think its brilliant, but one of the hardest things in the world to be able to comprehend. Its a total mind fuck.

Subjective reality is the idea that consciousness and awareness are primary. They are the container in which everything exists. Everything.
A way to explain this would be to ask the question: "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
In a normal objective reality system (which is how most people see things) one could answer either yes or no, depending on your own beliefs in quantum physics. But with subjective reality, you have to reject the question entirely.
There's no such thing as a tree outside one's own awareness. The tree doesnt even exist. Nor does the forest. If you are not there to observe it, it doesnt exist at all.

Without consciousness there is no existence.

You are the consciousness in which everything exists...time, space, people, places, events, everything. You are not a human being with a body and a mind, you are consciousness, and there just happens to be a human being with a body and a mind within you. So everything you perceive must be interpreted relative to the perspective of consciousness, not from the perspective of any particular body-mind, including the one you identify as your own.

A great example of this is the movie The Matrix. The matrix in this movie is an example of objective reality, but then when they leave this "reality" they go into the real world, which is an example of subjective reality.

Does this mean that with subjective reality, everything one experiences is just whats in one's own head?
No. Everything you experience is occuring inside your own consciousness, and that includes your head too. Your head is inside your consciousness, not the other way around.

Okay, enough with all that. The greatest thing I find with subjective reality, is the idea that everything you believe is only a projection of your mind. So, by changing your beliefs, you can change your experience. You have the power to truly create your own experience.

Anything you truly believe is possible, is possible.

So if one were to believe were to believe in something that didnt exist or wasn't possible yet, it would actually begin to manifest in the physical universe?
Yes. The physical universe is a summation of thought. So in order to change this universe, you must adopt the principle that creation by thought is possible. Not only believe it, know it. You must know it deep down inside of you. Just as you know now that when you bang your head against the wall, it will hurt you.

But according to science, history, etc, this can't be true.

Science and history, past and future, and all your memories exist within your consciousness. You manifested them. If you believe it can't be true, then it can't. Science is based on the presumption that objective reality exists. To drop this belief is to make it possible to violate the seemingly unotouchable laws of science.

The past, the future, do not exist. All that is real is the present moment, since consciousness is not time bound. Within consciousness you create the experience of time.

You could be funny with this and say "So, what, if I belive I can fly, then I can really fucking fly?"

Yes. If you believe you can. But we all accept the laws of gravity, we know them as true. The law rests deep inside of us. So, that is how that reality is manifested. If you wanted to fly, you would need to change that belief entirely, by knowing that its opposite is real.


Alright. I'm done explaining it. Question me. Discuss.

Serious question:

What if you set up a video camera to record the tree falling? You are not conscious of it because you are not experiencing it but it still happens.

[bluecrunchy]

Yes. If you believe you can. But we all accept the laws of gravity, we know them as true. The law rests deep inside of us. So, that is how that reality is manifested. If you wanted to fly, you would need to change that belief entirely, by knowing that its opposite is real.


so are you saying that if someone was unaware of the laws of gravity, they could make themselves fly? i'd like to see that.

[oneswiftmotion]

Did you watch "The Secret?"

[boysdontcry17]

it is subjecticve existance.
not subjective reality.

and existentialism doesn't override the law of gravity.

Serious question:

What if you set up a video camera to record the tree falling? You are not conscious of it because you are not experiencing it but it still happens.

These types of questions are normally asked when attempting to disprove SR. And the same type of answer is normally used.

You ARE conscious of it, since you consciously set up the video camera to film it. So you know its going to happen, even if you aren't there to see it. You are aware that its going to be filmed and that you will be able to watch it happen.

[pilot_light_out]

so are you saying that if someone was unaware of the laws of gravity, they could make themselves fly? i'd like to see that.

Yes. Thats what I am saying. But its not that one has to be "unaware" of the laws of gravity, they have to be as aware that they can fly as you are aware of newton's law.

Now, I won't ever be able to fly. I really don't think I could ever truly believe that. I'm not sure if any of us can. We've always been aware of humans not being able to fly, so that reality was manifested. A new reality that we can fly could be manifested, just as this reality was. The trick is really understanding consciousness, and believing that one can create through thought.

Kind of makes you think about the little engine that could....i think i can...i think i can...and he did! But i know that is a little less serious than this "crazy notion that humans can fly, whatever dude!" that statement just further proves that we wont be able to fly...and everyone's ranting about the truth of gravity just proves it further. Its not gravity that proves it, its your stubborn belief that its real. Look around at the true amazement of how everything is. Is it so wrong to believe that anything is possible?

Lets say a plane exploded and a video camera falls off and lands in the forest and the record button gets hit somehow. Would this not record a tree falling that no single person planned to attempt to tape?

[pilot_light_out]

Did you watch "The Secret?"

No i havent. But i've read parts of the book. I do have a dvd about the Law of Attraction, which was made by the Hicks couple who have all the books about it. Quite interesting.

I dont like the way they advertise the Secret sometimes. They make it seem like some lame self help thing, when it's so much more than that.

[jagermeister]

So you're saying if I thought long and hard about ANYTHING it would appear or come true?

If I believed in 3 days I will have green skin and hover cars will be available...it would come true?

[pilot_light_out]

I'll take your question seriously even though it seems highly unlikely that a video camera would still be intact enough to record this when it came crashing down from an exploding plane, but I know what your intent is with the question. I'm not sure if you'd really like to understand subjective reality and are just trying to test the kinks with your questions, or if you think its all generally bullshit (and if thats what you think, then i wont ever be able to prove it to you, because you already believe that I can't.)

The fact that you believe that a recording can occur without your awareness, meaning it exists whether you know it or not, are your thoughts so you will manifest that reality. :-)

[jagermeister]

Do you smoke weed and/or are you religious?

[senatorlamb]

Interesting stuff.

[pilot_light_out]

So you're saying if I thought long and hard about ANYTHING it would appear or come true?

Well, I dont think you'll ever truly believe that to happen. So it won't. If i tell you, yes, yes it can! Go get on that buddy! Think real hard about that! And then you go sit in a comfy bed and think about it, you'll only be doing it because after three days you know your skin wont really turn green and hover cars wont be available, so you will come back here and say "Duuuude you said it would work! I proved you wrong!"

I sense sarcasm in your questions, so I dont think changing the grand knowledge you have on changing skin color and hover cars and manifesting that reality is possible for you in three days.

[pilot_light_out]

Do you smoke weed and/or are you religious?


I smoke weed every day. No I am not religious.

[Intertwined]

I'm lazy. I'm totally not reading it.

[SonEric84]

Do you smoke weed and/or are you religious?

Did you really even have to ask?

[PadraicPrincess]

This is pretty interesting stuff. Just a question on the whole "if you believe it you can do it" thing.
And I am being totally serious about this question. So, when I was little, I had no notion of the laws of gravity, however I recognized that birds could fly. I thought that if I dressed up like a bird (wings, tail) that I could fly. I literally believed I could do it so I would try jumping off small walls and other things, but to no avail. How does this apply to subjective reality?

How does this apply to subjective reality?

When you weren't able to fly, it was because you were more aware of yourself as a child with a body, because you felt you had to "dress up" your body in some different way in order to have the ability to fly. You had thoughts along the lines of "if I had wings and a tail on my body (a body you knew wouldnt be able to fly without something else) then I can fly like the birds." Now, the main question here is, did you really believe that whatever you created the wings and tail out of would be useful in your quest to achieve flight? Whatever you made them out of, lets say cardboard paper, anything like that, when you put them on, did you notice them as just cardboard paper, or as a part of your body? Obviously, since you didnt fly, the thoughts that you were only "creating" wings and a tail to just appear like a bird were dominant over your thoughts that you absolutely had the ability to fly with them. It seems like a crazy explanation, but its true...since you didnt fly.

Children have great imaginations. Hell, we all do. But we are more aware of imagination as just being imagination, rather than a true force for manifesting reality. So we manifest the reality that we have an imagination, but its only imaginary.

I think more than imagination, it was logic, "oh of course, with wings I will be able to fly". And yes, I truely believed that with wings and a tail, it would only make sense that I would be able to fly.
I think that this notion of possibility upon believing is ..well impossible because from the day you are born you are influenced by factors by observation of others, surroundings, influenced by what other people tell you etc. Therefore there will never be a point in your life where you can fully believe. Sure you can say you believe, nearly 100 % believe, but there will always be the past influencing factors that will subconciously be in your mind. Does this make any sense?

[jagermeister]

I smoke weed every day. No I am not religious.

This is stupid then.

[christopherzig]

no, it's not. it's intresting.

[Roboman]

Interesting, maybe. Worthwhile, I don't think so. If nobody can fly or have there be hover cars tomorrow because they are too aware of gravity or whatever else, then what's the point of this whole subjective reality? Would anybody ever truly be able to do anything crazy like the aforementioned? No.

Also, it seems like you're saying that the entire universe is created by our individual consciousnesses...then wouldn't that make you and everyone else, essentially, a figment of my imagination (or "consciousness"). I think that's giving way too much credit to the mind/consciousness/imagination/ugh.

In other words, the smoking weed every day makes sense. I think this is pretty stupid. We live in a world where every person is just a person, we all have our own minds, gravity is a constant of the universe, and everything/anything is not possible.

[namembal]

Interesting but I don't really believe it.

Oh, and visit this link for more info if you want: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/05/subjective-reality-qa-3/I've been amazed for the past couple of months at the subjects of the universal law of attraction, the power of thought, and basically anything dealing with existentialism. I was reading more about the LoA and I came upon the idea of subjective reality. I think its brilliant, but one of the hardest things in the world to be able to comprehend. Its a total mind fuck.

Subjective reality is the idea that consciousness and awareness are primary. They are the container in which everything exists. Everything.
A way to explain this would be to ask the question: "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
In a normal objective reality system (which is how most people see things) one could answer either yes or no, depending on your own beliefs in quantum physics. But with subjective reality, you have to reject the question entirely.
There's no such thing as a tree outside one's own awareness. The tree doesnt even exist. Nor does the forest. If you are not there to observe it, it doesnt exist at all.

Without consciousness there is no existence.

You are the consciousness in which everything exists...time, space, people, places, events, everything. You are not a human being with a body and a mind, you are consciousness, and there just happens to be a human being with a body and a mind within you. So everything you perceive must be interpreted relative to the perspective of consciousness, not from the perspective of any particular body-mind, including the one you identify as your own.

A great example of this is the movie The Matrix. The matrix in this movie is an example of objective reality, but then when they leave this "reality" they go into the real world, which is an example of subjective reality.

Does this mean that with subjective reality, everything one experiences is just whats in one's own head?
No. Everything you experience is occuring inside your own consciousness, and that includes your head too. Your head is inside your consciousness, not the other way around.

Okay, enough with all that. The greatest thing I find with subjective reality, is the idea that everything you believe is only a projection of your mind. So, by changing your beliefs, you can change your experience. You have the power to truly create your own experience.

Anything you truly believe is possible, is possible.

So if one were to believe were to believe in something that didnt exist or wasn't possible yet, it would actually begin to manifest in the physical universe?
Yes. The physical universe is a summation of thought. So in order to change this universe, you must adopt the principle that creation by thought is possible. Not only believe it, know it. You must know it deep down inside of you. Just as you know now that when you bang your head against the wall, it will hurt you.

But according to science, history, etc, this can't be true.

Science and history, past and future, and all your memories exist within your consciousness. You manifested them. If you believe it can't be true, then it can't. Science is based on the presumption that objective reality exists. To drop this belief is to make it possible to violate the seemingly unotouchable laws of science.

The past, the future, do not exist. All that is real is the present moment, since consciousness is not time bound. Within consciousness you create the experience of time.

You could be funny with this and say "So, what, if I belive I can fly, then I can really fucking fly?"

Yes. If you believe you can. But we all accept the laws of gravity, we know them as true. The law rests deep inside of us. So, that is how that reality is manifested. If you wanted to fly, you would need to change that belief entirely, by knowing that its opposite is real.

[myantiyou]

An interesting point, but no, I don't believe in 'subjective reality.' It's just a mind game.

[lake of tears]

Theories arnt based on movie's. If a tree falls it will make noise.It seems like a counterfeit of the reality

[dannytheschid]

Putting the entire emphasis on consciousness makes about as much sense and discounting consciousness and putting the entire emphasis on the object of consciousness.

The truth is, a human being will never be able to defy gravity.
