And I would add "unintuitive because our experience has not
tuned/trained us to recognize/appreciate/intuit the reality presented".

Mary was reading out loud from  a David Stendall-Wrath collection of

"Truth is what the intellect experiences when it apprehends reality; 
Beauty is what the spirit experiences when it apprehends reality".
