The human mind is limited. Our perception of existence is a particular construction, fueled only by what we can possibly perceive (directly, i.e. in a sensory mode, or indirectly, i.e. some mental function like induction or the scientific method, etc. or some combination of the two). No matter how hard we struggle and try to reason, there is necessarily that limitation, that maximal mental capacity for "sensing" or being aware of, in the rawest sense. I hope I'm coming across clear.

That said, I think there are certain things we can understand about existence around us, but all human understanding is a model of complete reality. What if, for example, there were some other constituent of existence beside matter and energy, imperceptible to humans?
