What is the substance of experience?
youtu.be...
Experience is the translation of perception. When ruminated upon, it is the translation of a previous translation of perception. It's not factual. It's completely subjective.
Does this mean that everything, every experience, is subjective and not factual?

perhaps its factual in that,, its is recognized as an event which is occurring in reality,, but subjective because the experiencer is not even able to know how he ought to view this experience in its totality,, he is not let in on all the information available,, he hardly knows what he is. he is left to bounce around his perceptions back and forth in his mind, judging everything he can, or some things, or nothing, new things, a few things,...its subjective , in that this person was born with no personal views of reality and its constituents, and now after experience, this person has created a personal map and key, and personality, to weave his way through this world and time.edit on 6-4-2012 by ImaFungi because: (no reason given)
Okay, that does it. "Subjective objectivity"? Yeah, right. You're just goofing on the whole subject....
Hell, it's miles more valid that the horsesh*t that you've been ballbusting with here. Especially that last attempt at esoteric elitism. Subjective objectivity? That's where you outed yourself

Hey NorEaster,
The poster that brought this up is actually right ....there is a Subjective Objectivity. I too have had glmpses and moments with such a state.
Best I can explain it is this way.
You operate on the level of mind. You think you are that mind functioning in that body. That's it.
Eventually somewhere along the line, you read some philosophical/spiritual material that brings your subjective perspective bubble into question.
So you start to inquire. You are aware of thoughts and aware of the thinking process. You later realize that since you are aware of thoughts, you are no the thoughts. So who is this "Awarer of thoughts?"
As you investigate this Awarer or source of Awareness(for some weeks, for some years, for some a few minutes to realize), you come this center of yourself, which seems to be Pure subjecticviy without content without thought.
Later on, you find that this Pyre Subjectivity is not merely bound by the body (as the mind once thought) so using this new found faculty (which has actually been there the whole time) you begin to investigate more of what this awareness consists of, what is the source of this Awreness, and where is its home.
Upon further investigation, eventually this Awareness (real you) seems to drop into an Ocean of Objectivity. Where there is no reference point, and yet everything and everywhere is a reference point. It is the Ultimate experiential paradox. You can't know this with the mind, but you can experience this with Awareness, for this State is the source of Awareness. Prior to mind and prior to Awareness... this Objective Infinite State exists.
And so an experiencer of said state, thought they are no longer in this Oneness and can;t directly know it, are somehow merged within like a drop of water merged with an Ocean. It is the subjectivity of a drop of water experiencing the objectivity of an Ocean.
Yet this Oneness is not Bound. It is in everything and everywhere almost like Air, yet it itself is self aware from all points and from no points at all. So in a sense it is like "Subjective Objectivity".

Imagine if you will, the point of atoms. There is still space between them. Now imagine the space between the atoms itself. That space doesnt have any points of space between itself, or is there any separation in that space so there is no separate atom having its own existence. We can even find this in Bose-Einstein condensate when they take atoms down to absolute zero and they turn into strings and they pop in and out of existence and are everywhere at once. This has been certified by labs to be so.
Well this state they are popping in and out of is a unified Objective Oneness like all perspectives equally at the same time, the space between all things. This can be experienced subjectively by a person.
It is true and when others discuss this it is not hogwash. Even though the experience itself is entirely beyond words, you have to experience yourself to know it first hand. If you dont experience it yourself, or at least first handedly take the steps to get to the experience, then you are merely a hypothetical theorist living in a world of concepts, while those who have tasted this are folks who have experienced trth and first hand wisdom of such realities.
Battle and cry about it all you want trying to define how this is not possible by basing all your arguments within the confines of logic and reason and the rules and principalities that mankind has invented and is limited to. What we are discussing as experiencers of this state, is that this state has always been, is and will always be prior to what you conceptualize about it, completely beyond and transcending your concepts about it, and will remain as something real long after you and your arguments are long gone and dead.
Taste it for yourself first. Thats what I did and it destroyed everything I once thought was true. Subjective Objectivity is a real Phenomona and there are quite a number of folks backing it. Get with the program. We discussed this years ago on ATS and you are still fighting against it for some reason
This is the mind. The "observer". The "music" of the brain - if one reaches for an apt analogy for how the brain works as being akin to how music is produced by the musical instrument, but is not the instrument itself any more than the instrument is the music.
Again, this is a personal interpretation of a perceived indication.
Perceptions and translations aside, I have no idea what you're trying to describe here. That it exists is your belief, but that is - again - your translation of a perception that you had. Nothing more.
Ill need a link to verify that you know where such research is located on the Internet. That "popping in and out of existence" thing has become challenged as an inaccurate interpretation of the data, but let's not get lost in that digression.
Again, that whole popping in and out idea isn't really well established, nor does it have very many defenders - certainly not as many as you'd think if you only ran into the notion here and nowhere else. Some refer to it as junk science, but there are theories that suggest better interpretations of particles "winking in and out of existence". In this thread I've proposed a much better theory myself, but go on....
Experience is the translation of individual perception. It's subjective. Not objective.
Quite a suggestion, and from what I'm seeing, this is the crux of your personal biscuit. You had an experience, and you believe in that experience. Fine. Whatever. That's wonderful, and good for you. It was, however, your experience, and not objective reality. I'm sorry, but that's the nature of experience. It's a translation of what you perceived. Translation is subjective and so is perception. Two subjective stages of an observational event do not equal one objective truth, and I'm not interested in what it takes in linguistic convolutions to "prove" that it does.
You go ahead and guzzle that swill. I'm all set. The term objective doesn't work with the term subjective, and that's the nature of the language that we're working with. I'm a writer, and have been a poet for decades. I know the language. Your attempts to make this discussion esoteric have been entertaining, but in the end, you've provided nothing but opinions and 1st hand accounts of psychological adventures that you've taken. They sound fascinating, and sometimes I wish I was prone to such adventures, but that's just not how my own brain is wired, I guess.
If something is not pervasive and completely woven into the very fabric of common experience, then it takes a lot more than cumbersome purple prose to convince me that it's authentic - let alone primordial.
Subjectivity exists, and can be readily produced. Objectivity is also readily available, without a lot of whatever it takes to have a transcendent experience. Each is diametrically opposed to the other, and combining the two isn't like mixing black with white and finding gray. It's like mixing yes with no and cancelling out the entire determination. Like combining left with right and, in the end, going nowhere at all.
It sounds like it must be interesting to be you, though.

i have a hard time understanding why the subjective information contents of a temporal material creature ( human) is so much more important and deserving of eternal existence, then the subjective information an ant or rat acquires in its material existence, about its family and traits, and smells, and sense of direction,, or the information of a computer,, if a computer is inactive or destroyed, does the totality of information accessed by that computer drift off into the informational realm?

At the same time its interesting to be you. Your trying to wrestle with what I have presented and I can see how it destroys all your rules and its like I can see your thought process in all this. You to come with all your pre-programmed baggage (perspective bubble) as we all do, and I'm all about popping that, as I myself had mine popped by others and have never been the same since.
All of these Bubbles thinking they "know" and yet right in front of our faces, everything lays bare naked and obvious.edit on 9-4-2012 by dominicus because: (no reason given)

There are a lot of ideas in your post, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that you have ended the debate on material existence. You neglected to mention that with Planck's discovery of "h", that it opened the door to a world of Indeterminacy and Probabilities that completely violate the laws of causality that constitute our daily perceptions.
I would also like for you to define "matrixed linear trajectories" as well as how they can co-exist with orbital trajectories, as they as very different as I understand them, but maybe there is something I am missing.
This isn't a philosophical exercise. This is the way reality is, and why you perceive it the way you perceive it. I'm posting this so that I can refer to it whenever I get into a debate concerning reality and the issue of perception versus objective reality.
