Universal subjective truths

Universal subjective truths would be those truths that people know individually yet are much the same as other peoples subjective truths, eg. the world is real, or the belief in God. Universal objective truths would be a general agreement on truth using the same rules of reason or logic in defining what is true.

Is one better than the other? Intuition seems to come before the mind or logic fully grasps it, as the Will To Godhood, or the Spirit, comes before the mind and activates the body. In the same way subjective knowledge seems to come before objective knowledge, which only later affirms or denies the subjective intuitions.

I see no reason why we can't use both kinds of knowledge, but universal subjective truths do seem to naturally come first. Faith need not destroy reason or reason destroy faith. But the Will To Godhood has veto power over all truths in the balanced system.
