"But you ask a good question because it makes one consider what “physical” might actually mean."

It's my main objection to philosophers of mind that speculate about the interaction problem of mental causation. If the distinction between physical and unphysical is unclear, then their debates are pointless.

Mystical experiences may be the highest forms of human experience possible. But anything experienced is still content overlaid on the pure screen of awareness.

Therefore all perceived phenomena -- physical sensations, sounds, colors, thoughts, emotions,

space, time, awareness, and the experience of consciousness itself -- is still this dreamstate.

Truth realization is the recognition of our true nature as the infinite capacity for these phenomena to appear. It's realizing those phenomena are not the real you, leaving only the truth of the infinite to be who we are.
