The objective reality, the subjective reality, the illusion of perception (r1)

The goldfish in his tank called a sé the son and said to him: "Today is a boring day, let's do something together: let's go for a walk and see what the men locked up in their glass enclosure are doing!". Billy

This fable is an example of what is the subjective perception of Reality; in fact the goldfish that lived its life in a world made of water and enclosed in a crystal bowl, filtering the image through its conception of life, had come to the conclusion that in reality it was human beings who, beyond outside the crystal bowl, they lived enclosed in a glass enclosure.
Reality therefore can be subjective at best.
You will say: “This may also be true, but I would like to try to understand better, through an example that makes it clear to me how the same thing can be perceived differently and by different people”.
The same thing, inasmuch as it is always identical to itself, should be perceived, as Real, in the exact same way.
If you, children, took a hundred mirrors and placed them in a row next to each other and then had the possibility of measuring exactly your image reflected in these mirrors, you would realize that these mirrors, which also do not think, which also they have no reason to misrepresent reality, they reflect the image of yourself always in some way different from each other, and not only this happens with regard to mirrors with deformations, or concave or convex, but also with mirrors that at first glance appear normal.
So each of these mirrors reflects a different image of your body.

But then what is the Reality? Which of these hundred of your reflex bodies is really the real one?
And again: if you compared the image you have of yourself, of your body, with the image you see in the mirror, over time you would realize that these images are not similar either.
What then is the Reality? The image given by the mirror, or the image you have inside yourself of your body?
It may be that reality is none of those images that you see reflected, and it is precisely to try to give an answer of some kind to this question that we are here among you to bring you our words. Weather

Reality is one and only, and we can identify it very, very quietly with the Truth, which is one and only.
We can therefore identify Reality and Truth with the Absolute, with God. It can be further affirmed that Reality is God himself.
From the little smattering you have of these things, you know that as you approach the physical plane passing through the various planes of existence, Reality, Truth - therefore the Absolute itself - tend to split up to give rise to realities. , to truths that we can define about.
These realities and relative truths, added together, reform and reconstitute the Absolute, which however it is more than the sum of its parts and I will also try to tell you why it cannot be the sum of relative realities or truths.

You know, in fact, that actually the Absolute does not split up, precisely because it is Absolute (and as such it also includes the illusory nature of splitting) so saying that there are relative realities is only a necessary hypothesis to help you understand, (so to speak) that relative realities and relative truths exist only in delusion.

According to the illusory game and taking this fractionation for good, we say that Reality is divided into many small relative and subjective realities, that is linked to the subjectivity of an individual, an animal, a thing.
At this point, having made this premise, that is, having said that subjective realities exist in this way, a logical question should arise within you which is this: does it exist then, always in the splitting of Reality, an objective reality?

I will explain better: when we talk about subjective reality we assume the existence of a perceiving subject and a perceived object, okay?
You have no doubt about the fact that the subject perceives according to his own physical senses, right?
So the question that should arise spontaneously is that which says: beyond this premise, beyond this reality that the perceiving subject is closely linked to his physical senses, is there an objective reality?
Let me explain myself better: if io I look at a lake, a mountain and I see it in a certain way, so I see it subjectively according to the way I perceive it, the mountain, the lake, in themselves they really exist, or they do not exist and are they only the fruit of my imagination, my senses, my perception?

One could say, to simplify the discourse, that yes, objective reality does exist, but mind you: the discourse at this point becomes very delicate and complex, because to affirm that there is an objective reality is an absurdity, a contradiction!
In fact, if we have affirmed that Reality is one and only, we cannot limit it to a lake or a mountain, therefore the objective reality itself does not exist, because it is not possible to conceive our mountain or our lake separated from the Whole, separated from what is the one and only Reality.

However, I would say we can accept this hypothesis of the existence of objective reality, let's say, therefore, that the lake, the mountain in itself exist as a (always illusory) fractionation of the unique, absolute, global Reality inclusive of the Whole.
But is this objective reality really so different from subjective reality?

Well, at this point it seems to me that the speech made to you by Brother Moti is quite clear and has answered this question so that I think that no one has anything more to say on this point.
I believe that you are all clear that, when we speak of subjective reality, we are referring to the way of perceiving and therefore we understand how individual interiority comes into play; therefore what "objectively exists", outside the individual interiority, is - in itself - in a certain way: the different way, then, in which it is perceived by different individuals, is derived precisely from the interiority which, as you know, it is related to feel.

Here I wanted to lead you and here I wanted to stop, since the intent of this first attempt to explain something about Reality (at least an aspect of Reality) was to make you understand that also the subjective Reality is closely linked to what is the individual feeling.
If two individuals look at the same mountain and one perceives it green and the other pink, this difference, beyond what may be any physical sight defects, is linked to the different feeling of those two people.

All this may seem absurd to you, but in reality it is so and there is an explanation that we will try to give you in the course of this cycle, and even if the example I gave you is exaggerated, it is also true that the differences in feeling are manifested through even to trivial and simple things like the example I gave you.
