View Full Version : The Four Aspects of Experience and their Application

In this post, I will detail some of my discoveries relating to this thing that we call, "experience." What are we doing here? Experiencing. That is our primary directive. Now that I've gotten the basics out of the way, here are four aspects emergent within all experience (at least in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh densities) and their applications.

1. Sensory
The primary aspect of experience (the first that most people tend to notice and fixate on) is sensory. This includes all of third density phenomena. Physical acts, relations, aspects, qualities, and sensations. This is third density relational, and precludes abstraction.

2. Recollective-Analytic
This is what takes place once we have sensory or symbolic data to recall and expound upon. This can mean suddenly recalling a fond or powerful memory and drawing a sudden conclusion regarding its implications. We remember experience and appropriate/condition response. We recall and output. Sometimes, this can mean physically telling a story, if such a recollection is emotionally charged.

3. Symbolic
The tertiary aspect of experience can be referred to as being, "symbolic". This represents the abstract conceptualization and schematization of experience. "Information" representing archetypal icons (see language) tends to fall into this category. In the event of a paranormal encounter, most of the perceived apparitions are usually symbolic in some way. This is why it is effective to communicate with said apparitions, irregardless to the legitimacy of their relation to you.

4. Integral (ala calculus)
The final aspect of experience can be called, "Integration." This represents the act of operating on knowledge (applying it, rather than mindless regurgitation). This is the formulation of functionality and original thoughts. This fourth aspect of experience was required in order for me to formulate these axioms I present before you. Ergo, I have actually created (cognate-ed) a form of eternal recursion.

Now that I've literally covered everything, are there any questions?

I think this is pretty interesting, and I liken it to be valuable to a process I am calling "recursive thinking"
Thanks!

Douglas Hofstadter talks about recursion as one of the emergent properties of intelligence!

hmm, I might have to look that up, thanks again!
