It’s often confused with consciousness, but I think it’s something different.

Consciousness is about what you think or feel, but subjectivity is the one who is having those experiences in the first place.

It has nothing to do with how others see you, or with who you’re supposed to be. It’s something more fundamental — your true self.

I think of it as “the self as it was created by God.”

And when these original subjectivities intersect, it’s not just understanding that happens — a new reality itself can emerge.

If this is true, it might even have the power to transform conflict at its root, perhaps even to end war.

What do you think about this idea?
