Do you perceive the ball hit your head through direct experience? Or is it mediated through the interpretation of the mind?

This question makes no sense. There is no distinction between and my mind, so experiences of the mind are by definition direct experiences.

Either way, if you're claiming I'm just a figment of your imagination, this conversation really makes very little sense, and of course there is no proof I can bring that would convince you. The existence of a world independent of our own minds is a pre-requisite for any meaningful conversation.

how did you come to believe there is no difference between you and your mind?

could you somehow test this belief?
