By “objectivity” must be understood not a knowledge that is limited to a purely empirical recording of data received from outside, but a perfect adequation of the knowing subject to the known object, which indeed is in keeping with the current meaning of the term. An intelligence or a knowledge is “objective” when it is capable of grasping the object as it is and not as it may be deformed by the subject. [GTUFS: EsoterismPW, Understanding Esoterism]

Objectivity is a kind of death of the subject in the face of the reality of the object; the subjective compensation of this extinction is the nobleness of character. One must not lose sight of the fact, moreover, that the transcendent Object is at the same time the immanent Subject, which is affirmed in the knowing subject, to the extent that the latter is capable of objectivity. Objectivity is none other than the truth, in which the subject and the object coincide, and in which the essential takes precedence over the accidental – or in which the Principle takes precedence over its manifestation – either by extinguishing it, or by reintegrating it, according to the diverse ontological aspects of relativity itself. [GTUFS: EchPW, 58-59]

Objectivity / Inwardness: Objectivity is the perfect adaptation of the intelligence to objective reality; and inwardness is the persevering concentration of the will on that “Inward” which, according to Christ, coincides with the heart, whose door it is fitting to lock after having entered, and which opens onto the “Kingdom of God”, which in fact is “within you”. And this needs a foundation of faith and virtue, of intensity and radiance, without which man, in the eyes of God, would not be man. [GTUFS: EsoterismPW, The Triple Nature of Man]

Objectivity / Serenity: “Objectivity” is often discussed in our times, but it is readily reduced to a purely volitional or moral attitude, a kind of softness in the face of error or injustice, as if indignation could not be a criterion of “consciousness of the object,” and so of objectivity. Serenity can, it is true, result from a higher point of view where disequilibriums are reabsorbed into the universal Equilibrium, and there is then nothing to refute, since phenomena appear in their ontological interdependence, and therefore in their necessity; but there is a false serenity which becomes the accomplice of evil, and proves only one thing, namely that the person concerned does not see that a disequilibrium is a disequilibrium: the man who mistakes a scorpion for a dragonfly remains calm, but it does not follow that his vision is objective. Christ’s wrath proved, not a lack of objectivity of course, but the ignominy of its object. [GTUFS: StationsW, Orthodoxy and Intellectuality]

Objectivity / Subjectivity: The word “objectivity” signifies, in short, “conformity to the nature of things,” independently of all interference of individual tendencies or tastes; the word “subjectivity,” for its part, ought to designate the contemplative withdrawal into the “heart,” given that “the kingdom of God is within you.” [GTUFS: EyeHeart, Concerning Pythagorean Numbers]

Objectivity / Transcendence: Objectivity is the “horizontal” dimension: it is the capacity to know, to will and to love things as they are, thus without any subjectivistic deformation; while transcendence is the “vertical” dimension: it is the capacity to know, to will and to love God and, ipso facto, all the precious things that lie beyond our earthly experience and which relate more or less directly to the Divine Order . . . Without objectivity and transcendence there cannot be man, there is only the human animal; to find man, one must aspire to God. [GTUFS: PlayMasks, Prerogatives of the Human State]
