Have you ever examined George Kelly's ROLE CONSTRUCT theory etc.

There's the issue of personal constructs. No individual nor culture has ever been found anywhere which used more than 26 constructs with which to construe, define, channel reality.

Permeability is an interesting concept within that body of data.

So is the breadth of . . . scope of applibility of the primary constructs.

Anyway--have been quite happy with mine on all such scores.

I might hazard some guesses about yours. But you're only interested in tangible evidence.

Not sure what you do about loving other people . . . that pesky intangible stuff . . .

I'm not familiar with George Kelly or his theory.

It sounds as if he, and perhaps you, believe that reality can be tailored to your personal taste. Is that accurate?

And I'm not sure where the "loving other people" angle fits into this thread at all.

Not waiting for a response, I went ahead and did some research.

Kelley is correct that each of us creates our own reality, but even he isn't saying that it changes physical reality. In your reality, UFOs and other psychic and prophetical things may be real, but that doesn't make them real.

I believe there's a one reality. Whether or not one is able to discern it is a different matter.
