[ What I do see is that some relation between mind and world obtains in nature. The details of this mystery have yet to be unraveled. ]

Human sensory organs may not be able to gauge reality correctly.. except in the lesser/lower dimensions.. Could be there is much more to "see" and "hear" and even "feel" than the human body can experience.. The human experience seems to be so lineal.. even two dimensional..

If we cannot deal with a two dimensional experience or even three dimensional one.. greater dimensions might not be appreciated.. The human experience might be a test.. a test of the spirit not of the flesh.. The vet "us" for future deeds/tasks..

Well sure it does, dear brother in Christ. But we also know from our own day-to-day experience that there's always ever so much more than "the human body can experience." Personally, I think the five senses are vastly overrated as "sources" of "truth." At best their reports are but a species of evidence that must be turned over to the critical judgment for analysis and interpretation. For such "reports" are given to our consciousness just as you say, in linear form. You can string beads all day long and still not come up with a respectable insight into the nature of things.
