Well, perception of the physical world does not necessarily result in a universal reaction among receivers but varies depending upon one's tendency to handle the situation, how the situation relates to the receiver's past experiences, and any number of other factors.
I would argue that our experiences are structured by necessary features of our minds. In my view, the mind shapes and structures experience so that, on an abstract level, all human experience shares certain essential structural features. Among other things, I reckon that the concepts of
space and
time are integral to all human experience, as are our concepts of
cause and
effect. One important consequence of this view is that our experience of things is always of the
phenomenal world as conveyed by our senses: we do not have direct access to things in themselves, the so-called
noumenal world.
