You asked a clear question “What in life is truly objective and not subjective?” It is clear to any philosopher to whom “objective” and “subjective” have specific meanings that are shareable within a specific domain of knowledge in academic philosophy. “Self” and “God Consciousness” are concepts of another framework of reference. When you jumble everything together you end up with chop suey and kill the inquiry.
invalan said: “Everything you perceive with your five senses is subjective. All the knowledge you get through your five senses is subjective too.” These are the beliefs of a paradigm that shapes our consensus worldview of subjective observers in an objective world. Here again, invalan explains “objective” in terms of a “multi-dimensional self” that no mainstream philosopher or scientist would accept.
The way I see it, you cannot mix spirituality up with objective reality. Each is a perspective of a reality based on a unique paradigm.
Objective reality is created by the scientist. Therefore, it is subjective.
Spirituality that is based on a paradigm is metaphysics. It deals with a supersensual realm that transcends objective reality. This form of spirituality is also subjective.
