Objective idealism accepts common sense Realism (the view that material objects exist) but rejects Naturalism (according to which the mind and spiritual values have emerged from material things), Objective idealism recognizes the existence of objective worlds while regarding the ideal world as the primary production and paramount: the external world has a relative and temporary reality.
In Objective Idealism reality is not God and the minds that God creates, but a single, absolute, all-inclusive mind, which is referred to as "The Absolute Spirit" or simply "The
Absolute". The Absolute Spirit is all of reality, no time, space, relation or event ever exists or occurs outside of the Absolute. As the Absolute also contains all possibilities in itself, it is not static, but constantly changing and progressing.
Weather you consider it tenable or not entirely depends on your belief. For some of us it makes total sense and for some it could be the most absurd thing ever, even blasphemous.

'Idealism' = 'idea-ism' in this context. Objective idealism is very roughly the view that reality is wholly mental or is wholly a product of mind; that's where the 'ideas' come in, as mental acts or events constituting reality. 'Objective' indicates that there is a kind of world mind, or convergence of minds, that contributes to a single reality that we can all (in principle) understand or attune to. Hegel would be a star example of an objective idealist.
Whether it's a tenable position today, well 'yes' and 'no'. 'Yes', it can be stated without self-contradiction and can't be refuted. 'No' in the sense that vanishingly few philosophers actually accept it.

Human consciousness has three modes, those of mind, will (or will power), and feeling. Mind is separate from will and feeling, and yet interaction occurs. Mind and will interact to produce desire, and mind and feeling interact to produce emotion.
The sum total of mind, will and feeling produces consciousness. The agency of consciousness is the ego.
Therefore consciousness is different from mind.
Crucial difference between subjective and objective views of philosophical Idealism is that I need to explain two central features of life : the experience of relationships, along with the existence of confusion and determinism. These features react on each other. A subjective Idealist, considering himself to be a monad, can ignore relationships ; But it cannot be ingnored. This is because psychology is centre ; philosophy is used only to explain the psychology. For details log on

it's, being able to remain objective about your own ideas and receptives to others. ideally, it is tenable in today's world, however that is my own subjective opinion.

Uh, is that like Andy Warhol's paintings of soup cans, or when people "luk-at" the cans of soup and boxes when they go to the kitchen cabinet?
Sounds like IDOLATRY and that is frowned on by most religions.
