  I know its not exactly the same thing but this reminds me of Keats and his Negative Capability theory:
   
  "...Negative Capability, that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact & reason" 
   
  I always took this as the truth of the moment, of the experience - without judgement which then links to "Beauty is truth, truth beauty" and I could go on forever which I wont :). 
  He only expressed Negative Capability in a letter - he didnt publish it as part of a full blown theory which Im glad about. I like it. But Im bias -  I love all that is Keats :)
