How do you see this? Is reality objective and applicable to all; or is it subjective and unique to each one of us?

If there is anything out there and provided we/I aren't victims of solipsism them we'll all experience different things particularly when it comes to sens experiences.
We all might believe we hear and see the same thing but how we assimilate it is a different matter. Not just Hindu, New Age, it's been the subject of philosophy for millennia. The psychologist Wilhelm Wundt was the first to try to research it formally (even though his efforts were later found to be fraudulent).
Most people never really see. They look at things but what they think they see is modified by what they think they know. Paul Foster Case.
