But I read it that the way means "a way of describing, or theorising about, or interpreting" - it's about the author's description, not about some aspect of what is being described. So I would paraphrase it as something more like If it is more accurate or valid to describe your experience as being something in your mind than to describe it as being something in your brain. | |

Which is correct? Thanks! | |
