Find a comfortable spot and then relax for 5 minutes. If you do not focus on one thing, it's likely that your mind will drift from sheer boredom. Now let's try this again. Find a spot where you will not be disturbed and concentrate on your breathing. Do this for 5 minutes. Although your mind may have drifted off it probably wasn't as much as before. This is called building up your concentration. Do this enough times and your mind will stay mostly on target for longer periods of time. Of course there is a limit to how long we can stay focus, say about 45 minutes if I recall correctly.
Now, let's try doing this on something more ambiguous. For 5 minutes focus on energy and afterwards tell me your results. Because energy is vague and because I did not instruct you on what to expect... what shall come then? Could our results be heavily influenced by impositions? If given a blank slate, with nothing for our expectations to be based on aside from just the mere necessities, how would this energy be perceived? It is by this very nature of this thought experiment that I believe we may be able to find the true unadulterated nature of either magickal or psychic energy, not adjusted by human expectation. Try this test again but focus on either magical or psychic energy instead. Ideally all you should know of this energy or what not is its effects of either magick or psychic phenomenon. If done correctly we should eliminate the observer effect for as much as possible or another way to put it, the expectation bias in this case. Alternatively it may well be that we need these impositions, these pre-registered expectations and descriptions in order not just to make sense of but to even grasp some of these phenomena. After all we live in relations, it is how we perceive the world. We need something to contrast lest we lose sight, a framework of reference you could say. Perhaps observation necessitates that a reference is made, that impositions cannot be avoided. To put this another way, without detailing information it may be that we cannot perceive anything. You could say absolute vagueness is something we are blind to. Maybe.
