Greetings, John --
Mornin' Ham,
The ambiguity in these statements is easily resolved by regarding
experience as "patterned awareness" and sensibility as the
emotive state induced by pure (unpatterned) Value.
Unpatterned Value makes as little sense to my thinking as unpatterned
experience. I guess I have a problem with all "un" patterns. I can't
conceptualize such a thing and any attempt to analogize it just ends up
obviating the UN, is my problem.
That's because you are trying to "objectify" Pure Value as analytical
experience, which cannot be done. As I just told Marsha, ALL experience is
differentiated, objectivized, patterned. The so-called "pre-intellectual
experience" is not an experience at all. It is the primary
value-sensibility which is your essential nature. Creatures are not
equipped to experience undifferentiated or absolute Value, but
value-sensiblity is intrinsic to the human being.
Our sense of Value is "pre-experiential" in that it provides the ground of
our existence. It also affords us the autonomy to choose those values with
which we are "in tune" esthetically, morally, and emotionally. This is what
I refer to elsewhere as our "value complement," and it makes each individual
unique in his/her relation to Essence.
We can discuss this some more at your convenience, if you are so inclined.
Meantime, best wishes for the New Year,
Ham
