Objectivity is our sense of an external reality. With dementia, it is difficult to make sense of the external world. The sense of subjective reality is present, yet objective reality is lost.
Subjective reality is the ego sense of Self. The ego is the subject of life in physical reality. With dementia, I know who I am but knowing who other people are is a different subject altogether. I subjectively sense who I am through the consciousness of my ego Self. I have a conscious sense of the people whom I regularly experience in my reality.
Objectively determining my objectives in the outside world requires access to my sub-conscious memory. Without access to my sub-conscious memory, I am unable to objectively determine my objectives. I lose the ability to determine my own actions objectively. Objectively determining future actions requires access to my stored data of memory experiences. Without access to my memory store, I lose the ability to reason and without the ability to reason, I have no reason to determine anything. I am subjectively being my ego sense of Self, without any reasonable objective thinking being necessary.
With dementia, I need someone else to remind me what I need to do, without telling me who I need to be. Normal mental capacity requires an objective view of reality to be in balance with a subjective view of life. My external perspective of life needs to align with my internal perception of reality. What I am objectively choosing to do is required to be aligned with my subjective view of who I am. The authority to objectively choose what I want to do is relative to the subjective power of who I am being, whilst doing it.
I subject myself to objectives that I reason are of benefit to myself. If there is no reason for an objective, there is no reason to subject myself to it. A reasonable objective is reasonable when I reason that the power that I invest into the objective will give myself a subjectively beneficial return. If the objective is not reasonably beneficial, why subject myself to it.
With dementia, there is often no way of knowing whether an action is reasonable or beneficial. With no objectivity, the subject has no way of knowing whether it is beneficial or not. I never need a reason to do nothing. The inability to reason beneficially leads to inactivity. When I see no reason to do something, I lack any motivation to do it.
People with dementia see no reason for doing anything and therefore need reminding of a good and beneficial reason by someone who cares. When someone gives them a reason to do something, they may have no way of knowing whether the reason makes sense or not.
When I have no way of knowing what makes sense and what is beneficial for me, my sense of feeling is the only way I can feel what is right or wrong for me. Positive feelings are always aligned with our highest purpose and the heart of our emotional power. My connection to Source energy always feels good. Therefore, in alignment with my Soul’s choice for its Self, I always feel good. If something doesn’t feel good, it is because it is not in alignment with my Soul intention so why would I choose to do it?
My intuitive sense of feeling comes from my heart centre into my sacral centre and is expressed through my solar plexus. Sometimes called my gut instinct or a feeling in my water, intuitive feeling is emotional not rational. It by-passes the brain and is theoretically not affected by dementia. When I intuitively know what feels good, I intuitively know what feels bad for me. Intuitively knowing what feels bad for me is my survival instinct, which is never lost, even with dementia. When something doesn’t feel right, why do it?
The fact that someone with dementia is still alive means that their Soul still has a purpose for their Self and they have not yet chosen to leave the external reality of a corporeal world. Their Soul still sees the benefit of supporting a physically, & a mentally, disconnected Self. Once the Soul sees no further benefit in supporting & sponsoring its Self in physical reality, the Self returns to the domain of its Soul Entity.
The absolute reality of the Soul Entity has no duality of subject & object. It has neither subjective nor objective reasoning. The subject is always objective and the object is always subjective. The subject is always the Self and the object is always the expansive growth of the Soul, through the experiences of its Self.
Whereas, with dementia, the Self can lose its objectivity, the Soul retains its objectives for its Self until that life mission is fulfilled. From the Soul perspective, every individual life is fulfilling and every unique journey is fulfilled. Life ends when the objectives of the Soul-Self are physically realised and fulfilled.
Whenever death is the subject, life is the objective.
