this is a fascinating thing to think about... going deeper, life experience is ALREADY mediated, by the senses, by beliefs and conditionings, by fatique or habit or metabolic states or gender or race or nationality... virtual reality, the buzzword of a few years ago, is actually virtual virtual reality, two hands removed, at least.... the mystic percieves clearly what IS only because, by grace or hard work or both, she transcends the egoic identification with limitations... in the zone, clear space, no concept, whatever one calls it.... all experience is mind, the knower of the mind is something else altogether, untouched by whatever.... so the problem is not a problem
