Spirealism: A New Perspective on Reality
In Spirealism, it is argued that matter doesn’t really exist but is instead a product of the mind. Space, time, and matter are mere concepts. Many people may have no problem accepting that much is subjective, but the idea that there is no objective reality at all is often found to be unsettling. According to Spirealism, there are no objects that exist independently of the mind, and thus the concept of objectivity is completely called into question.
The Role of the Subjective in Spirealism
Everything we see and experience is a subjective construction. There is no matter independent of the mind, with immutable properties. What we refer to as “objective reality” is, in fact, the product of our own consciousness. This means that subjectivity permeates everything we experience. This perspective can humble our thinking, as it sees humans as active creators of their world, not passive observers of a predetermined reality. Yet, humans are still only a small part of a much larger and more encompassing mind.
The Relativity of Perception and Its Impact on Daily Life
The relativity of all things can have a calming effect. When one realizes that the objects we see and the experiences we have only arise through our own consciousness. Spirealism could help humanity by sharpening awareness of the interconnectedness of all things. This view is reminiscent of Heraclitus’ philosophy of “everything flows,” where everything is constantly in flux and no fixed structures exist.
The Illusion of Objectivity and the Importance of Communication
Another point raised by Spirealism is that the idea of objectivity is an illusion. The materialistic notion that objects exist independently of us (our thinking) is rejected by Spirealism. When people come together and exchange ideas, a collective thought – a collective consciousness – emerges. The concept that experts, through research, arrive at an “objective truth” must, according to Spirealism, also be seen as a product of communication, which is always subjectively influenced.
In the end, it becomes clear that Spirealism offers us a completely new perspective on reality. It challenges us to acknowledge the subjectivity in everything we experience and to accept that there is no independent reality. This view could have a calming and healing effect by questioning our understanding of separateness and superiority.
