Is reality subjective?

@Zen

I/You/We… cannot control my experience this I understand, I cannot control what happens in my reality; my mind may affect what happens, but I really have no control over it, so what do I have control over?

What I give to it? How I? perceive it when they say “he who overcometh”? What is it that you think you’re overcoming?

What is the ego other than submitting to the collective input you’ve had from your reality since day one? That’s the ego.

@Zen

When it’s said that the ego is the problem, what is meant by that is believing that you are your ego. Believing that you are your ego means that you have allowed society to tell you what you are in a prison system, and that’s wrong. Your objective is for you to tell society, yourself what you are. Regardless of its input, that is what honesty is. Where you express yourself, how you truly feel, what you know, regardless of your reality, you are not where you are, you are not what you experience. You are the EXPERIENCER.

@Zen

If you let your experience change you and tell you what you are, then you become the experience, and that’s how you get caught in the web. If you’re constantly running from pain and chasing pleasure and think that that is somehow your identity, you’re in the web.
