When we want to uncover the objective part of life, we have to discover the non-objective part of ourselves first. The very thing which clouds our objectivity, the different ego's that we have within (the different desires, fears, egotistical thoughts, etc.)

These prevent us from being and seeing objectively. Once we have seen them, we can them remove them and change ourselves. Then we can also understand other people much better. The intellect is indeed limited compared to the consciousness, which is imprisoned in the different ego's. The self-discovery course explains a lot about this.

what does objective mean?

And how do you think one should go about dealing with this question?

To be objective about something means to observe it without emotional or even intellectual bias.

Hi Karl,

How do you really feel about answering this question?

Seems like you've asked a few people questions regarding spiritual ideas and for me I don't think you'll ever really find the true meaning for yourself from other peoples beliefs or even experiences on spiritual matters.

Spiritual experiences can only be experienced by the individual and that person then has the understanding of that experience which is true to them but by explaining spiritual ideas to others the person receiving the explaining only has the idea of what someone else has experienced.

Find your own spiritual truths about what you want to know and put all of the opinions and spiritual ideas to the test by finding out if they are true or not by practicing and gaining your own experiences.

Have you check out the course page as there are great tools in the courses to gain experiences with, whether you would like to astral travel or gain a deep self knowledge etc.

All the best
Steve

In order to answer this question you have to learn to observe yourself before every situation in every day life.
What we see as other people or as other objects is the impression that they make to us. This impression is due to a reaction from the inside of us.So the mind takes it and puts it into a category of beautiful-ugly, good-evil, etc etc. This category depends on many things but it ends up to pleasure or pain.
For example if a person resembles our mother we put this person in the good category if this person resembles our boss then he certainly goes to the bad category. :)
Or if we see green grass we see ourselves playing football last Sunday and one player passed the ball to us and what an awesome goal we scored! And that blond girl was looking at us... And we start smiling happy in our sleep feeling nice... And green grass is so nice!

If we manage to see the reaction from the inside of us as it comes out then we learn to see reality because our perception is not clouded but if we don't see it then it just causes a chain reaction that produces the sleep of the consciousness.

In the self discovery course you can learn how to observe your inner reactions and you will be able to answer your question by yourself.

Hi Karl,

What does objective mean?

From what I understand, the truly and absolutely objective is Divine -this is the reference point of real objectivity.

And how do you think one should go about dealing with this question?

That's a very good question, I think.
For me trying to experience life as objectively as it is possible connects me with Divine and brings the answers from own experience. What do I mean?
Any thoughts, emotions, feelings, sensations come and distort, cloud perception -trying to stay away from it. Be detached, be out.
Living as much as I can in present moment. Going into five senses, learning from them, finding and enjoying that peace within.
This is far more superior and objective state than being stuck in thoughts about something which had happened a long time ago, for example, I think.
When being in present moment is experienced, it brings an answer.
This state can become more and more objective with practice and spiritual development.

All the best,

Hi!

I just wanted to say that you can get an idea to say as how some person perceive something via energetic connection but in my case I perceive emotions more which sometimes I can interpret in thoughts. There were few cases when I had a stronger energetic connection wondering when the me begins and the other person ends because it felt like a one whole. :) So it got me interested in that and what else is there. :) 

Hello Christos,

In reading your reply here it made me think about Karl's post and In Samaels book revolution of the dialectic he talks about transforming impressions.

Karl if you can read the chapter in this book called "The transformation of impressions it might help you with your question. You can download a copy of this book from the home page of this site. here's a link for you if you would like to check it out http://www.gnosticweb.com/files/pdf/EN_The_Revolution_of_the_Dialectic.p....

We've been studying this chapter of Samael's book in the teachers course and it's a really good chapter.

Hope this helps
Steve

How do you know we all see the same world?

You don't.

If I see green grass, will someone else see the same green grass?

You can't know this... What you see as green might actually be like I see it orange, but since I know grass is "green" then that's the word, but you can't really be sure what I see as green and what you see as green is the same... It's only logical.

What if everyone around me is just an illusion projected from my mind (like a character on a TV screen)?

You can't be absolutely sure. I guess more importantly, what if everyone around you is not an illusion? Then that means they live, breathe, feel, suffer, just like you, so that would imply a level of responsibility to them, as you yourself wouldn't want to suffer or be mistreated, you yourself would want mercy and forgiveness, and guidance to a better way of being.

At least these are my answers to the questions!

Thanks for all the responses.

My oppinion overall on this subject (called Solipsism) is that people should avoid questions that they don't have the power to answer, unless they want to be upset. We must wait and just enjoy what we feel other people mean to us instead of trying to overanalyze who they are compared to you.
