High level minds, low level world, and the missing middle layer

The problem seems to arise from the fact that we don't live in the present. Our thoughts slide backwards and forwards in time, while we are actually in all of those times and in all of those locations at the same time.

The greatest disconnect between perception and reality occurs because of a missing middle layer between the high level human perception layer and the low level reality layer of the actual world. This middle layer is essential for realizing truth.

There are the few who manage to create thin and temporary connections between the perception layer and the reality layer (meditation?). However, like golden strands of gold connecting some circuitry between two extremes, these people can not fully interpret the stimuli of the physical world, and their brains become misguided by the received sensations.

If our duty is to understand the truth of the world, then we must create the middle layer between the mind and the world.
