God, reality, belief, objective, subjective, truth...I can only speak of self in regard to being my own god and creator of my own world/universe. With all the abstracts the mind holds, where could reality be held save for what we perceive within our mind? Would that not be our belief? Our own senses create our reality and are both objective and subjective. You and I can see a white door or smell something burning, however, I may see hues of blue or pink within the white door or perhaps I will see images of people or objects that you do not. Is it true what I see? Hell yes. Can I show you? Maybe. The burning of something can be agreed on as well, however, I may smell just wood and you may smell meat. You may even be able to hone the meat down to beef, but will I have the same message? Maybe. Maybe not. Would we both hold truths? Yes. All is a matter of perception open to the individual to make of it what he/she will. Even if looking at our own selves within the realms of the micro, we are full of holes. Where lies solidity? Here, there, and everywhere...are we not? Reality: The one true thing that I can believe in and is my reality is me. To borrow from Descartes: Cogito ergo sum. No certainty lies on anything else or anyone else as this may all be a dream that we have created. We, the gods, have created ourselves and from ourselves have created bogus gods in our own image. If one were to set out to prove that I do not exist, they would only satisfy their own mind as one will never be able to convince me otherwise. I will always believe in myself. That is my truth, my god, my objectivity, and my subjectivity. According to the constructs of this world, we are energy. IF this is true, then by the first law of thermodynamics, we were neither created nor can we be destroyed. ~ Maggie ~ March 11, 2010 @ some point in the p.m.
