The first screen of the creation flow asks who can see the reality. This setting controls visibility, contribution, and comments together.
Visibility and direction are separate
Worth clearing up first, because the words invite confusion. A reality can be for yourself, for another person, or for the world. That is direction and it lives in the words you write. Personal, Private, and Public are something else entirely: they control who can see what you wrote. A reality for yourself can be any of the three. Keep it Personal and it stays yours. Make it Private and a chosen group practices it with you. Make it Public and the community can contribute to it. Many people assume a reality for themselves must be kept to themselves. It does not.
Personal
Only you can see it. No one else views it, contributes to it, or comments on it. The heart-brain count on a Personal reality records how many times you have returned to experience it. Comments become a record for you alone, which is covered in Your record.
Private
You invite specific people from your connections, one at a time or all at once. They see the reality, contribute to it, and comment within the group. No one outside the invitation sees any part of it, including that it exists. A friend is writing a book. Five of you create the reality of it reaching the bestseller list, practice it together, and talk to each other in the comments. That conversation stays among the five of you. This is also how a family gathers around someone for healing, and how a coach practices alongside a client without anything becoming public.
Public
The reality appears on the timeline for everyone whose selected interests match its categories. Anyone can contribute. Anyone can comment, if comments are on. Public reaches the most people, which matters when you choose to amplify what you are carrying: healing, peace, a cause, a future that belongs to everyone.
Comments Activated
A separate choice on the same screen. Yes lets people leave words alongside their contribution. No keeps the reality to presence alone. Comments off is worth considering for a Public reality about something tender. Presence alone is a complete offering.
Choosing
Ask who this is for, then ask who should see it. Those are two questions and the second one is what this screen decides.
