The outer senses as you know are themselves camouflage constructions, specific tools formed for a specific reason to manipulate camouflage reality. They are not equipped to handle other realities, nor should they be expected to do so.

I realize that it is frowned upon to speak in terms of a limited intellect, which cannot understand a whole reality because of a built-in deficiency; nevertheless while it is true that the intellect by itself cannot grasp or comprehend inner reality, this should not be thought of as a deficiency inherent in intellect.
