Does objective reality exist?

Sure. Let’s say it exists.

In objective reality, it’s good for me to eat 3,103 calories a day, don’t eat a lot of sugar, and I need 1.3 baskets of tomatoes every day.

That’s perfect, objective reality. So, when I am in the supermarket, I know exactly what to do. I think things like:

“Hmm, let me get this 2% yoghurt instead of the 10%, or I’ll take the 10% because my fat intake has been low lately.”

The problem is that in subjective reality, let’s call it real life, your boss is nagging you all day, your colleagues are worried about things, and so you pick up their tension. You get tired, and you constantly have to control yourself not to actually attack somebody.

So after a day of work, when you go to the supermarket, your decision tree is sometimes like this:

“Why is everybody looking at me?”

“I am never eating carbs again. I am going full keto forever!”

“Hmm, I deserve a lot of ice cream after this day of hard work.”

The barometer

Now imagine you grow up in an environment where your voice has been suppressed, or your emotions, or your sexuality.

You have done that for 20 years. 20 years of not speaking out 30 times a day is 219,000 times of not speaking out. That’s 219,000 times added tension in your body.

Now, when you are in the supermarket, you think:

“Why can everybody in this universe see my thoughts?

Why is a helicopter chasing me 24/7?”
