Now that I notice that there was a reaction to idea that “Reality is Agreement,” maybe I can clarify my view of REALITY.
To me, reality is what one views, feels and senses. Reality is what is inflowing through one’s perceptions. It is WHAT IS. It may be referred to as IS-NESS.
Now one may respond to it in different ways. One may agree with it, one may disagree with it, one may feel angry at it, or frustrated about it, throw shoes at it, or whatever. Those are all responses to the reality. Or, one may analyze it before responding to it, and that is where Data Analysis comes in. Data represents reality.
Now reality may be different for different persons simply because they are holding different viewpoints physically and emotionally. There will be differences, similarities and also identities among what is viewed from different viewpoints.
Now, when one says, “Reality is agreement” one is not defining reality, but one is proposing a theory how reality comes about. This is a totally different subject. This subject has been the basis of many philosophies and also of religions. Theories abound in this area. A very popular theory has been that of “God.” “Reality comes from God.”
So, I think what Hubbard was saying was, “Reality comes from agreement,” when he said, “Reality is agreement.” This is just my take. You may view it differently.
So, the statement that one should examine is, “Does reality come from agreement? And what is meant by agreement in this case?”
I don't take this statement at its face value. It simply needs to be examined. This is "Data Analysis" of reality, or an analysis of the nature of data itself.
