This is perhaps the last writing of this series. I am at the end of my mind, God has restricted my thoughts and given me one last chance to reexamine them. After this time, I am no longer allowed to give them any attention and instead I must direct my entire being to the service of God's Divine Will.
The problem of being and experience is not that significant, it simply helps in choosing which kind of language do we use in describing this reality. For example, if we choose the Causal Model, then it will be about beings interacting with conscious beings thus generating experience. If we choose the Union Model, it will be about the merging and union of experiences. However, it does not change the essence of what is happening, only the meaning of it.
Regardless of which model is correct, it is for sure that experience is the prime object of our life. After all, our life itself is by essence not a non-experience being, but a being of experience. Then, our self is also not a non-experience being, but a being of experience. Therefore the essence of the soul is not consciousness as something separate from experience, but it is in fact merely experiences, a system of experiences.
However, as experiences are also beings, they have properties of being, that is the mechanical and relational properties of being in the grand scheme of change. So in terms of essence, we are souls, but in terms of substance, we are experiences. Now it is possible to divorce the soul from the actual experience of the soul at least conceptually. With that it is revealed then that we are not even the objective soul. We are merely the subjective experience of the objective soul.
Then in truth, what kind of objective being we face does not matter, only our subjective experience of it. It is law that the objective being leads to subjective experience, but we must remember that the object is not the important thing, it is the subjective experience. Also if we remember that the experience remains intact after divorce, then perhaps we may consider that experience itself is sufficient and thus we end up with the Union Model.
I have much more to say, but I have lost it all. This shall be the end of my attempts to write out "original" pieces of writing.
