Veil of Perception Problem Solved?: Direct Experience is Truth

[r0ckyreed]

So I was discussing philosophy of science to a guy on RuneScape, and he asked he how I knew that my perception/direct experiences aren’t false.

It hit me that Direct Experience is the one thing that can’t be false because it is reality exactly as it is (or how it appears and disappears). Also, if direct experience were false, what would it be false in relation to? Imagination is what is false. Direct Experience is Truth.

Even if this is all a simulation or the matrix or whatever, the fact of direct experience still remains true because it is exactly as it is. Saying that the direct experience in the matrix is false and the direct experience outside of matrix is true already is biased and imagination and more stories on top of Truth.
 

If I wanted to look at it another way, it would be that Direct Experience (in the matrix) is true and life outside is concept and imagination. So the whole idea of simulation and matrix theories are all bogus and don’t disprove anything about the Truth of Direct Experience.
 

We are imagining falsehood. matrix and simulation are also imagination. Truth is what is happening now.

This was the contemplation I did, and I realized that the whole veil of perception problem is all imaginary and constructed. 
 

What do you all think? It is kind of hard to explain this.

Please watch the video below. What do you all think? He says “the only thing we experience directly is Consciousness.”

@r0ckyreed Direct experience is true and you can raise the awareness of it. If you keep raising awareness of what is present, you should be able to just close your eyes without seeing anything but the blackness. That's how you know you have clarity. Then you need to pull your awareness to your face or eyes or behind the skull in a search for where you are as a self. If you do the process correctly, there will be a localisation awakening.

Yeah that’s the problem I have is that when I close my eyes, I still see my minds eye of the room.

The only veil is the one materialists imagine.

All of materialism is imaginary -- and so are all of its metaphysical and epistemic problems and limits. Ta-da!

IF materialism was true, THEN the veil would be a serious problem. But materialism isn't true, hence there is no problem.

The thing that I haven’t realized yet is that the boundary between Actuality and imagination is Imagination.
 

Hence, Actuality = Imagination. I get how all distinctions are imaginary, but it seems like my hand is Actual and not Imaginary! Am I actually directly experiencing a hand or reality, or am I just imagining it all and only directly experiencing imagination or consciousness?

Actual is imaginary.

You are. And that is imagination.

Just realize that all physical objects are a dense form of imagination.

Your hand is like a unicorn, but more dense, hence you can see it with the eyes rather than just with your mind.
