Radical Experientialism Scrapped: My Last Post

[Les Sleeth]

Scrapped . . . see my last post.

I'm sorry I tried... but I got totally lost...

A minor point first...

Part One - Definitions

Personal Knowledge defined: Information from reality directly stimulating consciousness that is personally sensed, experienced and retained by consciousness.

Shouldn’t this say "past information…………retained and cecalled by conciousness", otherwise I don't see a diference between your personal experience and your personal knowledge definition


Then the important part ... this is how I got lost...

Part Three – Conclusion

While overall personal knowing can benefit from the peripheral assistance of mentality (depending on the quality of it),

How is this... since personal knowing is that which is retained, isn't this the other way around like you state in the next sentence

because mentality relies on and is conditioned by past experience,

past experience = personal knowledge

it means the experience of the present is weakened.

when is this weakened and which part does it refer to??

Consequently, during the actual moments of thought processes, the experience of personal knowing is diminished.

Lost again... is experience of personal knowing the same as personal knowing ?? otherwise this one's new in the equasion.

Therefore, for the practice of radical experientialism, one maintains personal experience as the first priority of consciousness. For mental operations, one relies on the experiential classes as much as possible, and returns to the personal experience of the present as soon as possible after thinking.

I think I get this part, but It will come as no surprise that I have no idea how to handle this...:

The claim is, the more fully a human experiences the present, the deeper one's personal experience of knowing.

:uhh:

(NOTE:Adding my own personal experience to that I’d say, the more quiet the mind, the greater the experience of the present.)

Loud and clear, won't agrue that... there's only a limited amount of information that can be handeled by our neuronal processor at the same time

Shouldn’t this say "past information…………retained and recalled by consciousness", otherwise I don't see a difference between your personal experience and your personal knowledge definition

You are correct about almost everything. I'd worked on this throughout the weekend and decided to post while I was tired. Sorry, everyone, the concept is not ready for publication.

However, I am still have high confidence in my overall premise, so let me fix the logic and definitions so it makes sense (tomorrow though, my brain is shot now).

I decided it was best to scrap this thread. Sorry everyone, I know what I meant to say, but I missed it by a mile. I'll try again in the near future for those who are interested. It's something I believe and practice, so I am pretty sure I can make sense. :tongue2:
