Is the Sun Absolute?

 

 

This may be obvious….

But, isn’t the sun, at least for the inhabitants of earth a symbol, metaphor, an example or proof of an absolute truth or objective reality?

It shows up and leaves at different times of the day.

BUT, it’s always there. 

People experience this truth differently in different parts of the world

BUT, it’s always there you can count on it. 

Saying that reality is what you make of it or that you choose your reality is true to an extent…Just as I can choose to travel to different parts of the world to experience the Sun in different ways. 

BUT it’s always there regardless of my choices

No matter what my personal perspective, experience or conscious choice of or about the Sun, it is a constant.  I cannot change the existence of the Sun, with my beliefs.  That is an absolute.

The subjective reality perspective seems to take the issue of  “responsibility” and “choice” to an extreme.  I’m in agreement with personal responsibility, freedom to choose and varying relative truths but…

If everything is just a projection of my thoughts and beliefs than nothing really exists, only the projector, which seems extremely self-ish and lonely. 

If I only exist, then how does that explain all the blogs on wordpress for example. I’m not the center of the universe, the sun doesn’t revolve around me exclusively.

I know that not only “I” exist because I can “feel” strong connections, which are usually reciprocal.  When two people connect at a soul level consciousness, the subjective reality view is that I created this.  This is way bigger than myself, I don’t have the skills for that.

If I don’t have the skills for that, there must be a creator.  If there is a creator, there must be an absolute truth as is symbolized by the sun, a creation of the creator.

My power to choose, create, see, feel, think, experience or project is part of many truths while part of the whole, not the whole itself.

As for creating “my own reality”, the Law of Attraction works, even before I learned it had a “name”. 

I used to call it “praying.  I don’t ask for proof and believe in manifestation only if it’s for my highest good and or the timing is right.

I guess though, I’m looking for a fundamental truth to agree on with others that recognizes or brings connection not separation.  If there were one truth to agree on what would it be?
