I think that what I'm getting at is this: if all we know is a product of our experience only, then how can we understand something that is not experiential? And what glues our experiences together?

If what we know arises out of sensory data (experience) plus thoughts about the sensory data, where do the thoughts come from?

Let's add the unnameable back into the equation. Is spirit or soul or consciousness the glue that takes our random thoughts and puts them in order and creates a world view and a self?

Peace.
