The matter is hard to tackle without splitting the focus in multiple branches, so I’ll try my best to keep it coherent.
Correct me if I misunderstood, but what your trying to say is that our love and affection for other people is not real since all we can experience, as human beings, are our own perceptions.
But ins’t that true for everything? If I bite an apple isn’t what I’m experiencing in reality the electrical messages my brain translates in what we call taste? So I cannot like apples because in reality I’m just able to enjoy electrical signals?
You’ve got it, good job! Now we can invert that notion and say that if every experience is illusion and nothing is real, then all illusions we get are as real as we can get.
We may accept the fact that our vision is capable to recognize only limited range of light wavelength. Nevertheless, we may enjoy the colours in our day-to-day life, without sacrificing the knowledge that we see only fraction of what is possible.
If so then I do believe that the intrinsic qualities of a person mediates the reaction you have to the stimulus. In poor words “I know that having a relationship with you is in reality me just feeling me, but what really love means it is how you, in your unique way, are making me feel me”
The fact that there is a translation in between doesn’t necessarely mean that there is an original message and that message isn’t true, does it?

this also happens to be a very good title for a love song

Intrinsic qualities cannot communicate with you, only you can observe them; you can observe intrinsic qualities only in the way you know how. In other words, you dictate (even if unintentionally) how you see the person. “How you see” is largely predetermined by your own way of perception.
This way, you’re not able to observe the person on its merit (as if you were them) even if you wanted to. Basically, to observe the person if you were them is possible only if you become them — give up your conscious/unconscious self.
Imagine you see a lizard, you don’t know what it feels while passing you; It can bite you and you will feel it. You might reasonably see it as aggression. At no point you can get into its skin and understand what this bite actually meant. Even if you could talk with the lizard and it would try to explain itself, chances are you wouldn’t be able to give up your human perspective on the matter.

Translation here means that there’s communication happening with outside world, while in this opinion piece, it’s so muddied up by unreliable narrator “self” that it’s basically just ever expanding confirmation bias
Yeah I understand the connection. The only thing that doesn’t resonate with me is that this opinion takes for granted the fact that any form of communication between human beings is faulty on every level.
While it might be right that there are some things that cannot be talked about, abstract concepts as love, fear, faith and such, I think it’s a little forced IMHO to presume that NOTHING, EVER can get through the Veil.
