Don't mean to get heady here ... but since I started this
thread, I'd better throw in my own 2 cents worth:

The way I look at it is ... Objective Reality is that which
exists whether human beings are around to perceive it or not.

The closer we actually DO get to perceiving it (and we can
never really know for sure if we do <tsk>) ... the more sound
is our basis for Action (for instance) in the sensory world.

Human subjectivity may actually play a *key* role in our
ability to tap into it. Certainly it is what we tend to rely on
to let us know when we have!

NLP and related methodologies seem to offer some valuable
tools for honing our perception and making some sense out of
subjective experience.
