However, we only know reality by our processing of reality... says my Fi. I use objectivity when thinking about ideas especially when discussing them, but my sense of reality is extremely subjective. Theories such as the collective unconscious and consensual reality are very attractive to me.
I agree with that. It's basically, "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are."
I often wonder about the collective unconscious as well. I've noticed that occasionally I seem to know things I shouldn't know if I've been in contact with enough other people that knew about it, even if they didn't actually talk about it. It's as if the very way they structured their speech and chose their words unconsciously gave me a vague impression of even small details of their personal experiences, like solving specific puzzles or details of events I shouldn't be able to know. It can be very weird at times. Like everything a person says fills in one part of a light area in a way you'd expect, and illuminates several scattered, varying parts of something you don't know you've realized until it hits you, and even then you don't always know who or where it came from.
