Writing 1

Opening

Writing is imperfect, language is by nature flawed, for it is created by a flawed race that is us humanity. That statement might be false and thus be flawed, thus proving and disproving my initial statement at the same time, though ultimately proving all of this to be true. My writing is not about writing itself however, it is merely a description on the general flawed nature of all of my writings. In this first writing, I seek to explore the nature of reality as it is accessible to us, and it all begins with experience.

Experience

Experience seems to be a controversy accompanying consciousness, with many people trying to destroy it to mere physical matter, perhaps in their attempt to destroy anything immaterial, spiritual, or even worse, "divine". This is probably a baseless observation of mine, but one of the cores of atheism is a denial of the immaterial. As any affirmation of the immaterial can easily lead to an affirmation of the One God, this includes our subject for the day that is "experience". 

Experience is difficult to define, and I do not intend on quickly defining it. Instead I seek to explore and expose some of its properties and the way it relates to "us", that is if we exist at all. Assuming a self exists, permanent or not, experience is the first thing which we can access in all of reality. In fact, everything comes to us in the form of experience. Without experience, there is not even an "us" or any sort of self. There are possibly objects in the absence of experience, but there is no true self, or what we call or consider to be consciousness, for the heart of consciousness is simply experience.

Let us now move into more difficult material. How shall we prove that experience is as I claim to be? That is being the heart of consciousness, being everything that we receive, and being the first thing of all things in reality. The answer is rather simple, it is because it is observed and experienced to be so. Experience is self-evident, it proves itself to be true. If we observe our own consciousness, we see that there is no central substance other than a bundle of experiences. If we observe all of our reality, we see that there is no substantial object other than experience. If we assume that there is a substantial object, then we must admit due to observation that observation itself is the wall between us and the object.

Closing

This first writing provides sufficient discussion on the facts and truths of experience. With this it is clear that experience is the first among all things known. It is the way reality presents itself to us. As such, all things have their roots in our experiences, and it is based upon on experience that anything is proven true. This writing then shall be our reference whenever we are stuck on the evidences of any idea. The implication of experience is major, as it means no one can base their ideas on anything other than the experience. However, what it truly consists in, and what its limits are, is still undecided, until next time.
