Objective reality and subjective reality conditioned by the evolution of feeling (IF12)

Philosophical teaching 12
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, outside the crystal bowl, they lived 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, children, that reality is none of those images that you see reflected, and it is precisely to try to give an answer of some kind, it is precisely to try to give an answer to this question that we are here among you at 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, the Reality, the Truth - therefore the Absolute itself - tend to split up to give rise to some reality, to truths that we can define relative.
These realities and relative truths, added together, reform and reconstitute the Absolute, which however is something more than the simple sum of the parts and I will try to tell you also why it cannot be the sum of relative realities or truths.
You know, in fact, that in reality the Absolute does not split up, precisely because it is Absolute (and as such it also includes the illusoriness of splitting) so saying that relative realities exist is only a necessary hypothesis to help you understand, let's say, that relative realities and relative truths exist only in illusory.
Taking this fractionation as valid, 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: is there then, always in the division 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, does the mountain, the lake, in itself really exist, or do they not exist and are they only the fruit of my imagination, my senses, my perception?
One could say, to simplify the discussion, that yes, actually objective reality exists, but mind you, the discussion at this point becomes very delicate and complex, because to say 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 objective reality by itself does not exist, because it is not possible to conceive our mountain or our lake separated from the Whole, separated from that which is the one and only Reality.
However, I would say that 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 think you are all clear that when we talk about 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, is linked to the 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 have given you is exaggerated it is also true that the differences in feeling are manifested through also trivial and simple things like the example I gave you.
We have come to the conclusion that Reality is One, Unique and Absolute but that in the physical world this Reality is perceived subjectively, it splits up, becoming relative. This different perception that varies from individual to individual is closely connected and linked to individual feelings.
The example that more or less clarified this otherwise very simple statement, if you remember, was formulated as follows: if two individuals look at the same mountain and one perceives it green and the other perceives it pink, this difference in perception, that is in the perceiving the green or pink mountain is linked toevolution of the individual.
And to clarify this statement further, I would like to point out something very simple, something that you can experience directly in your everyday life.
When you meet any person on your way with whom you begin to establish a relationship, you, inwardly, through mechanisms that we are not here to analyze, you get a precise image of that person.
At this point I would like to say: but are you quite sure that the image that you have made for yourself, or think you perceive of that person, corresponds to that person's inner Reality?
Yes, because if everything you perceive - as we have already said - is closely linked to your interiority (and to your feeling, ed) and therefore it is subjectivated, it is clear that even what you perceive of another human being cannot correspond to the Reality of that individual.
What does all this mean? This means dear ones - to put it simply - that you can know nothing but yourself!
Everything you can say, affirm, feel and imagine about another person in front of you is only your projection.
You can thus consider others - the people you know, with whom you speak, with whom you live - as mirrors in which you reflect all of your interiority.
This is why it is so important to have relationships with all the other brothers!
That is why it is so important that you open up, that you talk, that you communicate with others, that you exchange ideas, that you live as intensely as possible with others: precisely because each of the others offers you the possibility to arrive. to a greater understanding of yourself!
And this greater understanding of yourself inevitably reflects on your feeling because it allows your feeling to broaden; allows your evolution to move forward.
Oh yes, I know very well that all this talk is reduced to very simple terms, very narrow because you could talk longer, you could go into theories to discuss for days and days, but, since we believe it is right to give you these notions, this new reality, these new theories drop by drop, we prefer to start with little, in the simplest way possible, in the way that best suits your current preparation, in the hope that your preparation will then become broader so that even the may our talks expand and so will your understanding.
At this point we can affirm the existence of an objective reality and a subjective reality. This objective reality, that is, that which is included in the Whole, which is part of the Whole, which is the Whole itself, the unique reality, the true reality, the reality with a capital R, it is the reality of being.
Subjective reality, on the other hand, relative reality, fractional reality, the one necessary for understanding the life of each individual, it is the reality of becoming. Why this? Because the unique reality, the true reality, the absolute reality, what we have defined to be itself the Absolute and therefore God, is unique, immutable and eternal; therefore existing; so it is.
Relative reality, on the other hand, the fractional one, the one that you perceive subjectively in your everyday life is a reality that changes, that changes according to your evolution, that changes following the course of your feeling, of the expansion of your feeling, and therefore it is a mutable reality, therefore it is the reality of becoming.
Keep in mind that in dealing with these discourses we must speak by bringing absurd examples since it is totally absurd to think, to conceive a Reality of becoming totally detached, totally extraneous to the Reality of being, to the reality that is Absolute, so those who see in our relativizing reality is a contradiction! Scifo
