As I see it, (speculatively . . . ), two of the aspects of
"reality/truth" are: 1. "individualistic sense of reality/truth"
(where the quotes have to do with noumena/phenomena,
before/after sort of thing, so that everything in "reality/truth"
has a double meaning, or has "another perspective," as per the
"reality/maya" in terms of the duality/nonduality of the
esoteric tradition . . .)
2. . . . on second thought, how can an individual have a
collective sense of reality/truth, other than as per whatever
concessions/agreements within dualistics . . . So maybe there's
just one thing going on . . . Hmm . . . ^:-) . . .
Speculatively,
