There is, quite frankly, no way for people who live life based on abstract objective ideas to grasp what contemplation of the classic type is about. Once again, this distinction is very important because the primary base line of understanding for the former relies solely on mentally sifting through information that blocks off and inhibits anything that contravenes the self-generated awareness of their own consciousness. Being in a situation that exists outside of that does not present itself with any insightful methodology into a way that is direct and intuitive and therefore novel, but as only another object for empirical observation. Empiricists are forced to understand direct, intuitive insight in ways that align with their prejudice, i.e. either as a stubborn fixation on an imaginary object, or as a narcissistic, closed-loop feedback of consciousness that folds back upon itself. Neither of these are true. Perhaps the best solution to these differences is to admit that there is no real way for people who live their lives based on abstract objective ideas to really grasp what it means to experience the direct, intuitive, and immediate apprehension of God and the world.
