| '''Subjectivity''' may refer to the specific discerning [[interpretation]]s of any aspect of [[experience]]s. They are [[unique]] to the person experiencing them, the qualia that are only available to that person's [[consciousness]]. Though the causes of experience are thought to be objective and available to everyone, (such as the wavelength of a specific beam of light), experiences themselves are only available to the subject (the quality of the colour itself). | | '''Subjectivity''' may refer to the specific discerning [[interpretation]]s of any aspect of [[experience]]s.

| In [[social sciences]], subjectivity (the property of being a subject) is an effect of relations of [[power]]. Similar social configurations create similar [[perception]]s, experiences and interpretations of the world. For example, female subjectivity would refer to the perceptions, experiences and interpretations that a subject marked as female would generally have of the world. | | In [[social sciences]], subjectivity (the property of being a subject) is an effect of relations of [[power]].

| + | The exquisite and [[transcendent]] [[experience]] of [[loving]] and being loved is not just a [[psychic]] [[illusion]] because it is so purely [[subjective]]. The one truly [[divine]] and [[objective]] [[reality]] that is associated with [[mortal]] [[beings]], the [[Thought Adjuster]], [[functions]] to [[human]] [[observation]] apparently as an exclusively [[subjective]] [[phenomenon]]. Man's [[contact]] with the highest [[objective]] [[reality]], [[God]], is only through the [[purely]] [[subjective]] [[experience]] of knowing him, of [[worshiping]] him, of [[realizing]] [[sonship]] with him.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_196#196.3_THE_SUPREMACY_OF_RELIGION] |
