The Evolution of the Interior Universe

 

All aspects of human civilization—language, art, aesthetics, technology, architecture, organizations, governments—depend upon essential human relationships for their evolution and expression.
 
Question: What is actually evolving?
 
Answer: The quality and quantity of relationships between people, assuming the form of shared meanings, agreements, relationships and groups of relationships. The cultural domain is inter-subjective, because it exists between subjects, yet is often not objectively identifiable. But the fact that these shared spaces of meaning are not objectively identifiable does not hinder us from experiencing them as being real. As such, the subjective world includes not only individual consciousness but the inter-subjective domain of relationships as well, making the interior universe much more substantial. These relationships are real, yet they exist in the internal universe. The evolution of this internal universe accounts for the fact that women, children, and minorities now experience and possess more freedoms than in any time in written history.

"The evolution of this internal universe accounts for the fact that women, children, and minorities now experience and possess more freedoms than in any time in written history."

Molly, why did you not include men in that final sentence?

Since you asked ;)

"What do YOU think?" 

I believe that  subjective internal relationships need a very broad basis of interpretation. One simply cannot see the filters that one has in one's life, and possibly not the lenses in the being(s) who is on other side the relationship  and therefore "experience interpretation" may be erroneous if all possibilities are not considered.  

How do we even know what all possibilities are? 

I also think its very sticky stuff... :)
