Nothing you’re saying indicates “objective” phenomena, it indicates an agreed upon and approximate correlation of subjective experiences. It certainly doesn’t indicate that experience is reducible to brain chemicals, of which no one has a direct experience.
For example, we might both have the experience of stubbing our toes. We can talk about stubbing our toes, compare experiences, and we can probably even find ways to not stub our toes in the future, or ways to make our toes feel better. it does not mean we are having the same experience, much less that it has transformed some "objective" phenomena by virtue of us comparing notes. You might say it's "relatively" objective, if you wanted to make that kind of distinction, but that doesn't seem relevant given the original posts questions.
People correlating and studying subjective experiences via experimentation etc. does not somehow change the experiences into objective phenomena. There is no such animal outside of Platonism or some such. No ideal chair, just infinite different experiences of “chair”, with us tacitly agreeing that they are the same experiences through labeling, etc. when we could simply consult our senses directly to know that the experiences are in fact unique to our own mindstream, and that "chair" isn't even the same experience one day to the next.
This is the imaginary or imputed nature, it can seen as unreal even through this mere examination of sense processes.
Let me know when you find that objective phenomena which exists outside your perceptions by something other than inference based on said perceptions, I’ll be waiting.
BTW, I keep getting the impression that people think this is saying "science doesn't work" or something..it's nothing like that at all. I came to and understanding about this from talking to two pretty highly trained (Buddharma wise) and well read ex monks who are teachers, one of whom has a physics degree and one who is a pyschotherapist during a retreat. This is not some anti-science argument and getting stuck on the notion that it is is absolutely missing the point. this has nothing to do with denying the scientific method, etc.
Your experience of dying of an undetected illness is subjective. All the argument proves is that there are lots of things we are not aware of, that subjective vision itself is...occluded and partial, which should be no surprise. it is not a claim that a being's subjective awareness is the final and definitive reality, We are ostensibly Buddhists after all, so this certainly would not be a good position to take. In fact, this is precisely what makes it the imputed or imaginary nature.t doesn’t mean that all phenomena only occur subjectively.
I did not say that all phenomena everywhere fit into every beings subjective reality, only that all phenomena are experienced subjectively. If you dispute this, you need to explain how phenomena are experienced objectively.
Again it is not a philosophical claim of some kind solipsism, etc.
Cool, let me know when you find an objective experience, and how it is possible to have one. How does a mindstream experience objectivity?that doesn’t mean that all phenomena only occur subjectively.
