Wait a minute... I just have said that " it " has NO separate

existential reality. Furthermore, you have put the term " it " on the

table, not me.

 

Now you answer my questions first, then we can see if there is any

more worth to be said.

 

I requote the original post:

 

---

Me:

 

I can experience sensations, I can experience their judgement. I can

experience emotions evoced by other experiences. But experience itself

is not a sensation, I cannot experience the experience itself.

 

you:

And why do think that is?

 

me:

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.
