>"Non-sensory experiences" sounds (at best) like an oxymoron to me. At worst,
it sounds like a mis-characterization of cognitive function as a pretext to
invoke supernaturalism. What do you think?<
Oxymoron.
*Disclaimer: Unless the non-sensory experience means that the experience has little or no consequence, is unimportant, or is a nonissue. Yet, if this were the meaning, I'd rather use "low-sensory experience". I don't think any experience can exist without some feel, smell, touch, image or sound. If the experience is a memory occurring in a void, then the mind will still conjure up some sense of feel, smell, touch, image or sound. If the experience is a void within a void, then something has got to recognize the void as an experience, and the act of recognizing it would be connected to some aspect of a sense experience wouldn't it?
