Foundations of Subjective Reality. If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences. –W. I. Thomas. Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs “pass,” so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.

First, we need to define what we mean by “reality.” The definition of reality used here is a system that imposes effects on the entities within it. For entities that can’t think, there is only one reality, and only one source of effects.

An important part of the Work is to understand the view of objective reality. This understanding comes through discussions about it and through your own investigation, your own exploration and experience. This view is, in some sense, not one experience, but what unifies all experiences.

This inner being you is the source and creator, as well as experiencer, of your existence, according to this view. Subjective reality only takes as real what it experiences first-hand, since external or objective reality is not seen as a reliable report, coming from second-hand sources.

Entities capable of having beliefs simultaneously occupy alpha reality and a second, subjective reality called beta reality. Beliefs (whether objectively true or not) are to beta reality what the laws of physics and other natural laws are to alpha reality – each imposes consequences on its inhabitants. Beliefs vary in the degree to which they are “alpha true” – i.e., correspond to states that exist in objective reality.

It is just as impossible to provide proof of the validity of subjective reality as it is to prove objective reality, as any proof I could give would just be a second-hand report, not first-hand experience. BUT... The subjective reality model DOES solve several problems that the objective model of reality can't.

(May 2014). The subjectivity of perception of reality implies that perception of all of the things, concepts, and truths in the universe differ between individuals: we all live in different worlds, each of which may have things in common, because of our unique perspectives on our worlds.

Of all the cognitive biases that shape our beliefs – and through them, the character of subjective reality – the most influential is the primacy effect. It causes the first piece of evidence for a belief to be both better-remembered and weighted more heavily in judgment.
