Sam says:
here is that things themselves are created by us also.<<
–Do you mean their "thingness" (i.e. our perception of objects AS objects) or their existence? I’m going to guess that nature does exist outside our awareness of it, but that the perception of objects as objects is an imposition of the mind. And yet, that perception enables us to do things with objects that we might not do if we saw them as continuous with the rest of existence. So our imposition of meaning has an "objective" impact.
