The World Floats in Your Mind

Excerpt:

See, this spirituality is actually an experiential science. Because it is an experiential science, it remains absolute, uncontradicted by anything whatsoever anytime. Why is it so? Because our experience is always subjective, not objective. We say, the world is an objective world, it is an objective reality. Though it is an objective reality, we who perceive the world and give it an objective reality status, we ourselves are subjective.

That is, experience is not sensory. It is not a bodily experience. Every experience is inside the body, inward to the body. The experiencing entity or plane is the mind. This mind is not an objective reality. It is subjective. And all experiences are in the subjective sphere in the mind. Now this lifts it above the objective sciences. This fact raises the subject from all objective sciences.
