We have to think in terms of energy, force, wavelengths, frequencies etc and the interplays at that level to properly understand truths.
Everything receives and sees reality in its own way. Everything other than mind and soul are projected energies. The mind and jivatma themselves are not the ultimate reality but projected from Atman but they are more real than what they project.
Let us take an example. There is a tree in front of us. We develop concepts such as size, shape, distance, direction etc for our understanding of what we see. But is there anything in front of us? Is the concept of 'front' etc itself real?
The truth is we perceive that a tree is in front of us. Actually we are perceiving a mix of energies and that distance itself is perceived because it is some feature of the energy reality. So there is no distance as we understand and so no front or back. All are some features of energy reality and we see the only the expression of the understanding of the sense organs and the brain energies, things such as a 'tree' in 'front' with certain 'size' etc.
