     Your very use of phrases like "YOUR reality" pegs the issue precisely: 
     there is only one reality.  Period.

     Well that's absolutist enough to whet my appetite to engage.  Is this 
     something proveable or disproveable with empirical evidence or is it 
     something you have *decided* you believe?  
     
     For me, I believe there could be a singular and multiple realities in 
     conjunction.  Like there is a body and the cells that make it up.  A 
     holographic reality if you will.  But I'm going to stop there because 
     my thinking is "subjective", it's what I believe, and I personally 
     enjoy it.
     
     As was relayed to me in a psychedelic vision, "you put out in front of 
     you what you want to see because you are terrified of the void that 
     would be there were you not filling it with your own creative 
     efforts."
     
     Whether I imagined this or this is a universal truth is irrelevant to 
     me.  It could be both.  It could be neither.  What it is is *my* 
     reality.  My perspective.  My POV.  I have an angle of viewing the 
     universe that's unique to me.  Collectively we have a very animated 
     and interesting universe though.
     
     Anyone for pinball?
