our perception of reality in real time."

Oh yeah, I've been aware of SAND for quite some time. Some of the content resonates with me and some doesn't.
And yeah, from a scientific standpoint we don't see reality as it actually is. It's all a construct in our mind and experienced by consciousness. Science is beginning to understand how the brain constructs the 3D surround sound touchy-feely presentation but still has no clue on the first person conscious experience of it. The qualia. Science, by and large, believes consciousness is an emergent quality of the complexity of the brain but can't yet explain it. The Hard Problem of consciousness as coined by David Chalmers.
Non-duality takes it a step further and posits it's all an appearance within consciousness, including mind and body. There is only Consciousness and at our core that's what we are. All of us the very same One consciousness experiencing the multiplicity through the multiplicity, hence experiencing Itself.
