In my post I was making my own comments, not responding to your comments. I wasn't talking about Schroedinger et al, but about Haglin et al. I don't have anything to say about the "unmediated experience of the true nature of reality." Too vague a concept. Physics does however tell us a lot about the physical reality we experience.
