Although we know first that every sensory perception is contrived by the structure (the shape and form) and the function ('seeing', 'hearing') of the sense organ as sensory stimuli impinge upon it, and, second, by the projective and interpretive cognitive functions of the intellect, believing those perceptions to be real we reify them as objectively existent physical/mental reality. These karmically induced chronic habits of interpretation and projection may be termed 'genetic' insofar as the basic beliefs about the external world are determined by the structure and function of the psycho-organism itself . Or the notion of 'past lives' from the very inception of the species of homo sapiens can be evoked to indicate the unconscious depth of the psyche that produces the interpretive/projective images by which we 'know' the external world-its images, colours and shapes.
Upon that fundamental structure-shared by all human beings-personal karmic experience determines the specifics of sensory perception, prioritization of features, and detail, whether the sensation is to be rejected or accepted, its emotional tone, its mental environment according to the myriad mythic categorizations of ones conditioned traditions (ie- Buddhism : human, animal, divine, demonic, ghost-like and hellish) and so on. All that - projective, interpretive and selective mental activity is the work of the intellect and the constructs, concepts and thoughts that it entails are preconscious-subliminal-'belief', and we are attached to it.
Our ordinary experience, in between moments of recognition of the nature of Mind, is the actuality of immaculate pristine magical-like illusion polluted by intellectual belief. Although, even this itself can be non other than pristine pure Mind itself - just as how anything that appears within a Dream is by default Dream itself, and produced by and an extension of ones own nature of Mind... and again, in the aforementioned ‘default mode’ we are in a sense - like one under the spell of illusion to mistake unity for duality. Usually (but Anyone can be the exception) not recognized for what it actually is until we “wake up” in bed after we dream.
Recognition of that, instantly releases us from the conceptual cage of the ‘default’ mode of operating - into enchanting primordial reality, where the sense of the mystical is naturally default, and always already immanently transcendent. As is often evidenced by the use of psychedelic substances & by dreaming lucidly - but it’s the same reality as the one always already here and now, recognizing this is key to experientially knowing it as omnipresent in all, always - for ourselves and all other sentient beings.
(+ 1 to drimey wozer) And that is more or less, how I generally tend to view the matter.

Why because a line is slanted in a certain way..does it show the particular energy behind the subject(The symbol)..?
Reality is trying to show you that you ARE "it", projecting itself back into all sorts of feedback loops of varying frequencies, like a laser, depending on your chosen depth of focus.

Wow so I've concluded that the whole subjective experience is made up of knowledge, information.. symbols and measurment..
I do not now know what the difference between the objective reality and subjective reality is..?

I can likely say that the subjective experience and filtering is by the subjective being itself trying to figure out its own meaning or purpose.. trying to survive.. and above that trying to seek for pleasure or happiness..
So the subjective bias is always based on the individual need for peace of mind and happiness(pleasure)

So the goal of peace of mind might be to balance as an accounting technique.. the weighing of positive and negative karma

Correct your perception and all else falls into place.
A "perception correction", if you will.

So all symbols are empty.. and yet full..
The image needs to be whole for communication to exist and its purposes..
Binahs object orientation is perfectly framing an image or thing.. by the outlines of that thing.
