If it were up to me we would leave the cave the moment you see the physical knife. Making up stories is awesome, but it's when you decide they have any effect on reality or you think that you are describing reality that they become nothing of worth. If the analogy is "we sense a reality that exists" than, yeah, I would have figured that is obvious. All we see or do is just sensing a reality. The whole description of things changing, though, is where that all falls apart. Things change in the "higher reality" in this case, and the things we see are directly connected to reality.
