Inexorably bound to it, our view, experience, and understanding of everything is created by our unique, personal interior experience, which is created by our consciousness, which is created by the natural world, all in a reflexive, continual feedback loop. And so, the world as it actually is exists in some major part behind a veil of our subjectivity. This is not to suggest the solipsistic stance that the physical world does not exist outside of consciousness, but that the particular image of the world we experience does not.
