Hi Marsha --
The MOQ starts with experience. Experience is reality.
If you're going to stick with this terminology, you will have to
define what you mean by "experience".
I would define it as the awareness of being. Experience by itself
is a malapropism. We cannot experience nothing, All experience is
awareness of something. By my previous analysis, that "some-thing"
is being Therefore, experiential reality (existence) is
being-aware, and we are the beings aware.
The purpose of my analysis is to reduce assertions to fundamental
propositions. I agree that physical existence is experiential, but
unless we all agree as to what experience is, it's just another
ambiguous word that could mean "imagining", "feeling",
"sensibility", or "general knowledge". Indefiniteness spawns confusion.
Can you accept "being-aware" as my definition for experiential
reality, at least for purposes of this discussion? If not, tell me why.
Hello Ham,
Right from the dictionary: Experience
5. Philosophy. the totality of the cognitions given by perception;
all that is perceived, understood, and remembered.

Why is this a problem? Why don't you accept experience as reality?
