Rails - Mar 2008 - ActionController <-> ActiveView code access ambiguity

Hi All!
This is not a problem in general but i''ve just missed the point.
If my application has a global state, which i have to use both
throughout ActionController and ActiveView, then, where to place that
state?
E.g. if I do this:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  protected
  def authenticated?
    !user.nil?
  end
end

then I can''t use that from any View. And, on the other hand, if I do
write that as a public method - it acts as an action...

So, where to place such "global" properties?

Thanx a lot!
