Conscious Mind: Subject, Object, or Suspect?

Stock Photography: Keyhole - Peeping Through a Keyhole at The World - Concept and Symbol  You would think I was losing my mind if I told you I just saw Moses and Einstein approaching Jesus with a straight jacket...And on my way home there were a bunch of strange Neanderthal looking dudes holding a wooden cross in the middle of the road arguing with one another about which way to go! 
   One biblical character, one scientific genius, and a group of ancestoral/primitive inhabitants in part with life, love, and living! As if it's necessary to explain who these non-fictitious characters of development in society are...As if they don't intervene with our lives spiritually on a daily basis.
   * Why is the centrality of the relational so easy to miss, to forget about, to relegate to the conceptual background? It must have something to do with the "confusion of minds" with the ways in which bodies operate as functional units.
   Subjectivity and objectivity play major roles in our consciousness. 
   Subjectivity: sub·jec·tive (s b-j k t v). adj. 1. a. Proceeding from or taking place in a person's mind rather than the external world: refers to a person's perspective or opinion, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. It is often used casually to refer to unsubstantiated personal opinions, in contrast to knowledge and fact-based beliefs.
   Objectivity: is both a central and elusive concept in philosophy. While there is no universally accepted articulation of objectivity, a proposition is generally considered to be objectively true when its truth conditions are "mind-independent"—that is, not the result of any judgments made by a conscious entity. Objective truths are those which are discovered rather than created.
   In today's world we are so purpose driven that we oftentimes fail to recognize another purpose. Purpose serves us intentionally. Without purpose, what would our intentions be? If we only had spiritual guidance with no scientific reasoning, would we be satisfied? Our hunger for knowledge exists. The knowledge we seek tends to exist, or what would it be we're seeking? What exists under a table with a cloth over isn't exposed to all that see the table from afar. What's under the table could be empty space or objects consuming the space we are unaware of. With perspective there should be some way to relate to what's depicted through the eyes of anyone with the position to access what the human eye can relate to or see. Sometimes we have a way of seeing with more than our eyeballs. When we live spiritually or consciously the image we pick up with the physical eyeball is sometimes far from what we can see in our minds or with our hearts. Sometimes when we encounter text there is no physical image besides the symbols that represent letters that create the terms, but there is usually an image created in our minds to serve purpose in life, love, living or in our hearts even. 
     The spirit in which we were created is the spirit in which there is life; life in conception, life in perception, and life in deception. Sounds a lot like the world we all know today. Some of the functions of religion seem to be distorted to realists, skeptics, and spiritualists as if the purpose or objective is generally accepted before our intentions or true spiritual presence is even recognized. Is it even possible to function in spirituality without a connection with a particular sect or functional unit? Do you have a life without a universal recognition of the particular spiritual connection you function in? Is it all love; you know our relationship with Allah "the greatest," Yahweh (Jehova) "the most high," Jesus Christ "our lord and savior," or Self "the greatest common factor relative to all purpose in functionality?"
