    There isn't a competent metaphor/analogy/allegory for how your mind is working, so I think that's why a lot of people focus on the direct sensory stuff when describing it.

In that Watts video he describes it as not "hanging" on hang concepts. For example, humans construct many symbols that "define them". But in this realm trying to "conceptualize anything" is like trying to "catch water with a sieve" in his language. And then when you learn not to "hang out any concepts" you are in the "void". And then you have to learn to "void the void"; according to Watts.
