Map and territory


In last days I'am reading Mony Elkaim book titled: " If you love me, don't love me". It's very well written and interesting book talking about the family and couple therapy (in sistemic approach).
Through many interesting observations I focused on the meaning of the notions: map and territory. Most of us know it as a base of NLP (neurolinguistic programming). This two definition suggest that exist two realities: our subjective, personal perception of the world and objective reality which is out-of our experiences. We can't divide this two prospectives because the objective one practicaly don't exist. How we can walk out and leave our five senses and see the world objectively? Maybe someone know the answer?
I'm agree with Mony Elkaim who suggest to stop using this two notions, because it's mean that we confirm the existence of this two realities. We should talk about construction of the world which is a marker of our psychological map.
G'day Mates! :)
