why we can never experience who we really are

 It is essential to understand  that we humans are wired to be able to perceive only that which changes.  What does not change, like the movement of our planet through space, is not perceptible.    Consciousness (our true nature) since it is always present and never changes, can never be an object of perception.   What we are is pure subjectivity.  Any description or experience claiming to refer to our essential nature must be false, since our essential nature is ineffable, undefinable and without attributes of any kind.
