RETAIN YOUR SUBJECTIVITY
Each thing that you have experienced, gets stored in your memory. Everything you have done, remember, or even imagined, or heard about, gets stored. Memories provide each person with their own perspective and sense of reality. It is important to learn to use subjectivity regarding our memories of our experiences during interactions.
The ‘memory’ of an experience is not the same as the experience itself. The memory that you have of an experience is half sensation (light and sound, etc.), and half projection (your existing values, feelings, other memories, mood, biochemistry, etc.).
Once the memory is formed it is hard to separate the sensations from the projections, the memory becomes ‘reality’ as you know it.
For example, If 50 of us share a workshop, there are fifty different memories of ‘what happened’ during the workshop. Which person's memory is the most important or most accurate? There is really no way to tell.
During interactions with others try to remain subjective while actively listening to the other person's position.
Avoid allowing past experiences to predetermine our course of interaction with others.
