Exploring the very real question of whether objective reality exists or not, and the implications of that question.
This is really a question about consciousness and the nature of consciousness.
It revolves around the idea that in order to observe reality, and to have a perspective on it, there must therefore be a subjective participant engaged in the process of observation. That is to say it is not possible to contemplate reality without acknowledging the consciousness that is considering the idea. In a funny way, it’s like the question of the chicken or the egg in a different perspective.
I was thrilled and excited, shortly after recording this podcast, to discover the film “Aware” which is an exploration into this precise idea of the nature of consciousness, and therefore the nature of reality itself. This beautiful film so inspired me that I may have to do a subsequent podcast on the topic. Perhaps from the perspective of what it means to be the living consciousness within the reality one is perceiving, and the power we have within that perspective to shape and create the world we are longing to inhabit.
