You mean what I think *why* that is so? Well, as I have said, it is simply not possible for me. I have tried it. How is it for you? But if you want a logical explanation, I will give it to you. To say " I experience experience " is like to say " I see seeing " . The term " experience " is not describing an entity, it describes a process, or lets say a continous event. It exists only in reference to that which is experienced. It cannot relate to itself because then it would be the subject and the object at the same time.
