This is correct. Our minds receive electrical signals and create 
Euclidean space along with all its shapes and colours. The true form of 
the universe might be purely mathematical...like the signal to your 
computer screen.

I wont be buying your book because it seems to accept Einstein's stupid 
theory....but I think you should add a chapter pointing out that the 
human sensory system can directly detect only space and time and not any 
of those other dimensions that are involved with fields and 
consciousness itself.
