This I'd never heard of before, thanks for the pointer, loved the story also.
I had to look up the concepts above, and to me it makes perfect instinctive sense. Too true we try to interpret everything way too literally, and in doing so, we completely miss the point of most of it, probably. Appreciating art seems to be devoid of conscious thought, time seems to stand still when its really doing its thing, communicating something to us way beyond words, its like a direct connection from senses to psyche, bypassing the conscious processing part of our thinking, imho, we need a lot more of that, I think.
