Experience is...What?
DIR By: rafe

Experience is...I is part of the experience. Experience is and
sometimes isn't. I guess you could say it is when it is and
isn't when it isn't. I assume non-experience in the state of
experiencing, but I only ever experience things from the state
of experiencing. The intervals of not-experience are a no-thing
while viewed from the experiencing interval. That is to say
that the no-experience interval or no-thing, is objectified
conceptually as a thing labeled no- thing...not the same thing
at all. Experience and experiencing then are the same event.
The noun or subject seems redundant. Experiencing is the
experience, like the verb is folding back on itself. Like the
action folds in such a way as to appear like things...it still
doesn't answer what experience is (only what it is doing)...but
something obstructive seems to be falling away.... hmmm.....

Dear Rafe:
Welcome to the forum.
Somethings can't be explained, in my experience, nothing can
ever be explained.
Love ya, Jed.

Jed,
Thanks. Can you clarify a point for me? I observe that the
most productive autolysis happens when I pick a thing like
experience and really go after it with single-minded
determination. Even when I wrote "it still doesn't answer what
experience is...." I suspected you might suggest that it could
not be explained, or that I sit with the don't-know. Both of
which are welcome advice (I can get into a state of don't-know
but it makes me giddy and takes away my will to dig). My
question though is this: If I accept too easily that things
can't be explained, aren't I just taking the easy way out on
autolysis? Isn't pursuing those until I've done my own math the
important thing? My answer is yes.
P.S. is there a place on the sight where I can find more about
the Nav series? Just curious. I also observe that this process
is working and my orbit is degrading. I'm just in the dark when
members refer to that.
Best,
Rafe

Although I also get that even looking at "what is experience" is
still digging around in the thought structure, which is one step
removed from that which is aware of experience as an object. It
is so hard to have awareness look back on itself. It's like
having that disorder where you can't see the center of your
field of vision and awareness always sits right in the center.
Every time I go to look at it, it shifts by just so many degrees
as I have turned, and the thoughts begin to intervene...hmmm....

In my not very humble opinion, you are intellectualizing this
wholr thing far too much. Just gently stay with that which is
aware of all this. What if there is never any answer to any
question, ever, all there is is questions... the result is you
can only be open to everything and never expect closure.
Love ya, Jed.

Ha! I get it. The very first filter isn't real. That's all
there is to it.
