SUBJECTIVE PRIMACY

 

Before a sound will convey anything about the site where the air vibrations are generated, it signifies THE EAR.
Before a sight will convey anything about the object which reflects the light, it signifies THE EYE.
Before a concept will convey anything about its content, it signifies THE MIND.

The world is presumed to exist outside of us, and yet we merely experience its effects upon our consciousness. We truly experience only subjectively. Being conscious of anything, first and foremost, implies BEING CONSCIOUS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. 

Reality exists only in so far as it exists FOR a conscious Mind. Consciousness is manifested to itself as EXPERIENCE OF REALITY. Any experience, before it signifies anything at all, first and foremost signifies the Self, its recipient and subject. 

SPACE and TIME exist as phenomena of the MIND. It is onto their background that we cast our individual reconstructs of our common world. 

Events matter to the extent that they bring about certain states of Mind. It is only their impact upon the Mind that is truly relevant. Therefore, we always aim to attain the subjective experience of a desirable quality. Overwhelmingly, however, we presume it to stem from "the real and objective causes outside of ourselves." 

Subjective experience does not require any proof, it is direct and self-validating. It is, therefore, THE REALITY PROPER. It is more so a reality than our speculations about the "real nature" of the objective factors that we presume to have produced it. 

Every thought is essentially hypothetical in that it presumes to reflect THE OBJECTIVE REALITY. Every thought is arbitrary, its precondition is one and the same regardless of its purported content.
