Everyone Creates Their Reality In Full vs shared "stage" backdrop to a play where actors create their interactions
Elan has mentioned many times that from our 3D perspective (in popular lingo) it's hard to get our heads around the idea that everyone creates their own entire reality.
I was walking through a department store the other day surrounded by a million suitcases and thought it odd that I'd actually be creating all of them (or every leaf on a tree or building in a vast city). Furthermore on important issues I've eg never met anyone who doesn't experience London as having a huge river running west to east through it or didn't find the Pacific where it is.
Elan has mentioned mass agreements in the case of eg gravity which if one really stops buying into them one can get around.
However in practice surely even Essassani must need to focus on key items and not "everything"? Would Elan if he walked with me eg examine the underlying belief that led to every individual suitcase in a store, leaf on a tree etc?? Seems reductio ad absurdum in extremis.
Speaking just for me it's only 0.000000000001% of my environment that really matters (& most of that how i relate to it rather than it's design). Indeed in the Buddhas case phenomena are just phenomena and it's how one relates to phenomena rather than what they represent that matters.
Any thoughts, any recollections of sharings in this context?
Thank you for the question and the answer. I find this very interesting and helpful.
