My Philosophizing on the Topic of Reality and Where the Man Is Heading

subject touches subject

I am not trained in philosophy; I am not a professional. Therefore, this is not a text meeting the requirements of a philosophical work. I am merely summarizing my observations and reflections on topics I have been thinking about for several years.

“Man strives to share his thought with another person as much as possible.” So that one person can empathize with (feel) the thought of another person. Because man feels alone inside himself (within his thoughts), he tries to find a subject who also experiences existence. This is helped by verbal experiences (thoughts, philosophy), visual ones (images, for example, emotions radiating from the paintings of surrealists), and musical ones. We encounter the same in blogs, vlogs, and even lectures. That is why the most successful thinkers are those who, through their words, bring the individual experience of reality the closest.

Thus, man, as a subject experiencing reality, strives to be able to “connect” with another subject who is also experiencing it. And this so that he can be sure that the subject exists (by “experiencing the experience” of the other subject in the form of thought or another form of idea).

It can be God, another human or any other subject.

The subject is therefore afraid that he is alone, that only he experiences, that there is no other subject who experiences.

However, the problem is that he does not want to become the other subject and experience it as the other subject. He wants to remain the subject he is, but at the same time “experience the experience” of the other subject.

Thus, we arrive at an unsolvable task.

Chaos. What I call reality is always “Me.” Beyond the boundary is the unknown, nonsense, absurdity. A disordered something = chaos. The other subject is either me (the first subject) or part of the unknown – chaos.

Just as it is with every unknown – me before birth, me after birth, what was behind the door in my room when I was three years old – there is “disorder”, an unknown without order – chaos.

The other subject is either part of the I–subject (by becoming part of my reality) or of chaos. (Remark: subjects are part of both.)

Thus, either subjects will, in getting to know other subjects, grow into larger ones with a vector toward one all-encompassing subject, or the subject will be willing to keep a certain “mystery” and learn to live with the fact that in chaos he will meet another subject but only for a touch. In that touch, two realities will partially merge and become somewhat enriched, but will not completely unite. (Either in such a touch they will continue together through chaos for a larger span of time, or they will touch only for a brief moment.)
