透過經驗、情感和觀點，我們構建了一個獨特的主觀世界。這是人生不可或缺的一部份，但它也會限制我們對真實世界的理解，甚至使我們與他人發生誤會和衝突。因此我們必須設法敞開心胸，並走出主觀世界的框架，讓自己在真實世界中更自由地生活。
在主觀世界中，我們的認知起伏不定，而且與客觀的現實存在很大的差異。有時只需一點恐懼，或一次情緒低潮，我們身邊的人就會從戀人變為敵人，而這樣的轉變只是由想象所驅動。
真實世界也在不斷變化，如果無法自覺地走出主觀世界的束縛，我們的理智就會陷入一片混亂的幻境之中，無法有效處理真實世界的事物。即使能夠暫時逃離幻境回到真實世界，但由於缺乏有效的依據，我們的理性也會無法發揮作用。
而理智是我們與其他人建立真摯聯繫的關鍵角色。我們的情感千差萬別，而且很不穩定，如果再加上主觀的元素，我們與他人建立的關係必然薄弱和鬆散。唯有理智與意識，才是人類共通的屬性，也是我們連結和融合的真實基礎。
我們甚至活在不同的時代。即使坐在身邊，有些人或許在懷念過去，活在逝去的世界。有些人或許在幻想未來，活在還未到來的時空。這使得我們不是真正意義上的同時代人。
只有活在當下的人，才能處於同一時空，因為活在當下的人已超越了自我。所謂過去，僅代表我們經歷過的事物。而未來，則是我們將會面對的事物。這些都是以自我為中心才得以存在的事物。唯有活在當下，才能把其他人的福祉，與我們的福祉聯結一起。
當下的時空並不屬於任何人，而由在場的所有人一起共享。如果對當下有全然的意識，放下成見和習慣，我們就能擺脫在主觀世界孤獨生活的狀態，自然而真實地共存，並共享當下的一切。
唯有如此，我們才是真正地一起生活。許多夫妻同居數十年，但卻各自活在不同的世界，因而產生許多衝突與痛苦。儘管他們逐漸學會避免爭吵，展現和諧家庭的形象，但那些所謂的共同生活卻是一種虛假。
除非同心協力地活在此時此地，否則我們不可能真正相知和相愛。在主觀世界中，無法實現真正的愛與心靈的歸屬。愛源於當下的意識，是我們從過去走到未來的旅途中，與他人攜手創造的美好事物，也是我們精神家園永不熄滅的燈火。

The path to Tranquility (104) Out of the subjective world
Through experiences, emotions, and perspectives, we construct a unique subjective world. It is an essential part of life, but it can also limit our understanding of the real world and even lead to misunderstandings and conflicts with others. Therefore, we must find a way to open our hearts and step out of the framework of the subjective world, allowing ourselves to live more freely in the real world.
In the subjective world, our cognition fluctuates and differs greatly from the objective reality. Sometimes all it takes is a little fear, or an emotional low, to turn those around us from lovers to enemies, and such transformations are driven solely by imagination.
The real world is also constantly changing. If we cannot consciously break free from the constraints of the subjective world, our reason will fall into a chaotic hallucination, rendering us unable to effectively deal with things in the real world. Even if we can temporarily escape from the illusion and return to the real world, our rationality will not be able to function due to the lack of valid basis.
And rationality plays a key role in establishing genuine connections with others. Our emotions vary greatly and are unstable, and if we add subjective elements to the mix, the relationships we form with others will inevitably be weak and loose. Only reason and consciousness are the common attributes of human beings and the real basis for our connection and integration.
We even live in different eras. Even sitting together, some people may be reminiscing about the past, living in a world that no longer exists. Others may be fantasizing about the future, living in a time and space that has not yet come. This makes us not contemporaries in the real sense.
Only those who live in the present moment, can exist in the same time and space, because those who live in the present have transcended the self. The so-called past only represents what we have experienced. and the future represents what we will face. These are things that exist only when centered on the self. Only by living in the present can we connect the well-being of others with our own well-being.
The present time and space does not belong to anyone, but is shared by everyone present. If we have full awareness of the present, let go of preconceptions and habits, we can break free from the state of solitary living in the subjective world, naturally and genuinely coexist, and sharing everything in the present.
Only then can we truly live together. Many couples live together for decades, but they live in different worlds, which creates a lot of conflict and pain. Although they gradually learn to avoid quarrels and present the image of a harmonious family, those so-called shared life is a falsehood.
Unless we wholeheartedly live in the here and now, we cannot truly know and love each other. In the subjective world, true love and the home of the soul cannot be realized. Love comes from the consciousness of the moment, it is the beautiful things we create together with others during our journey from the past to the future, and it is also the never-extinguishing light of our spiritual home.
