I mean that an individual's reality is defined by his or her relationships with other people and the things and ideas that affect him or her. I get the sense from some here that there exists a reality in which individuals are like isolated intellects, affected by nothing but their own thoughts. For me there is nothing real about that. For me, people affect and are affected by others and other things. There's a bit of SOM in this. And there's a bit of incarnational mysticism in it too.
