It's possible Eisho is mistaken.
If a child comes to me and says, "Cats run away when dogs chase them, but cats grow wings and fly away when a bear chases them," is it accurate to say that this child's reality is "no more or no less true?" I think it's fair to say the child's perception of reality is skewed, and it is indeed less true.
Now sure, you can go into the argument that "flying away" is just a concept and all concepts are in our mind and so on, but that's just what I call "changing the goal posts." If we use that logic, then everything is true and everything is false.
There must be an absolute reality. Two of the most popular thoughts are:
a) reality is subjective, everyone is right in their own way, which is the objective truth.
b) reality is objective, and many are wrong about it.
