Book excerpt: Subjective Reality 101 is a crash course in the perspective of subjective reality.What is subjective reality?Here's the way I'm using this term: Subjective reality is an integrated belief system where consciousness and awareness are primary. They are the container in which everything else exists. And I do mean EVERYTHING.One way of thinking about subjective reality is like a holodeck from Star Trek. But that's a model I'd like to move away from because I'm finding most people are thinking about it too objectively, as if the holodeck still exists in an objective universe somewhere "out there." This would be the world of The Matrix movies, but that is not subjective reality. In that case you're just having a simulated subjective experience within a larger objective framework. In those movies you still have an outside objective universe that is real. So this isn't the model we want to use.In a truly subjective universe, there is nothing outside your own consciousness -- no world, no bodies, no brain. Suppose I ask you the question, "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" With an objective belief structure, you might say yes, but you might also say no, depending on your views on quantum physics. However, if you believed in subjective reality, you have to reject the question entirely. You'd say that there's no such thing as a tree outside your awareness. That tree doesn't even exist. Nor does the forest for that matter. If you are not there to observe it, it doesn't exist at all. Without consciousness there is no existence.So in this paradigm, you are not a body with a mind walking around in a physical universe. You are pure conscious awareness, and the physical universe is "walking around" within you. And that includes what you think of as your body and your mind too... as well as every other body you perceive.A secondary element is that within a subjective universe, thought is the primary creative element. All thoughts manifest in some form, whether conscious or unconscious. So the physical universe is like a giant computer, crunching your thoughts into reality. Thoughts are waves, and the physical universe is the summation of all those waves. Hence where there is no thought, there is no physical existence. If a thought does not exist, its physical manifestation does not exist either.
