Here is something I recently read that I think will help out this conversation. I talks about the three eyes(flesh, mind, contemplation). And how we should be using them to see things.
Quote:
"Mode #5 is simple sensorimotor cognition, the eye of flesh, the presymbolic grasp of the presymbolic world(sensibilia). Mode #4 is emperical-analytic thought; it is mind(intelligibilia) reflecting on an grounding itself in the world of sensibilia. Mode #3 is mental-phenomenological thought; it is mind(intelligibilia) reflecting on and grounding itself in the world of intelligibilia itself. Mode #2 can be called mandalic or paradoxical thinking; it is mind(intelligibilia) attempting to reason about spirit or transcendelia. And mode #1 is gnosis, the eye of contemplation, the transsymbolic grasp of the transsymbolic world, spirit's direct knowledge of spirit, the immediate intuition of transcendia."

Sorry about the crude chart, I suck at paint.
If anyone wants me to expand on anything please ask.
