    Is objective reality possible from a subjective entitiy?

    We are using the term objective reality in contrast to subjective reality, which is reality seen through our inner mental filters that are shaped by our past conditioning. Objective reality is how things really are. – A.H. Almaas

    What is objective realtiy?

    From Scientologists, to The Matrix, to a recent post by Steve Pavlina there are a lot of people out there who seem to be claiming that objective reality doesn’t exist. Or at least, that it only exists in the way you choose it to. This is a seductive theory, but it’s also nonsense. Here’s why:

This means that reality is not subject to wishes, whims, prayers, or miracles. If you want to change the world, you must act according to reality. SOLO HQ

  • Ballet of Life

    Opera ballets mystery

    The job of the artist is to deepen the mystery. – Francis Bacon

    Early precursors to ballets were lavish court entertainments of Renaissance Italy. The first ballet for which a complete score has survived was performed in Paris in 1581. Professional dancers first appeared in the mid-1600s. Court ballet reached its peak during the reign (1643-1715) of Louis XIV, whose title the Sun King was derived from a role he danced in a ballet. Many ballets presented at his court were created by Italian-French composer Jean Baptiste Lully and French choreographer Pierre Beauchamp, who is said to have defined the five positions of the feet.

    Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
