They exist as a memory. If things that have been experienced before come back to our minds as a faded experience. For example, for someone who is afraid of dogs, the experience of a dog frightening him by barking comes to mind.


A memory would have to be after, right? My question was if ...

perceptions such as current sounds and images.

Do these perceptions exist before you experience them?

In other words, are there ‘un-experienced perceptions’ that then become experienced by you?

I know I experienced something. I'm not sure if it's real or not. Of course there is some truth to it. I can't say anything about being real.

What is this ‘something’ that you experience? Can you describe it?

Yes I wanted to see this. It came as an interesting thing. I was researching these issues before, I read similar things, but I did not experience them.


Great! In that case… what DO you experience? Do you experience ‘being real’? What do you know for certain, based on present evidence?

Your own ...

Typo: drive “our”

I’m fine, thanks!

Do you think you could elaborate on your interest? What is drawing you to this forum?

I’m thinking from now on perhaps you could drive out discussion, because I don’t have any ‘teaching’ I wish to impart, or anything like that. If there are questions you have that you want to ...

Hello,
How have you been in recent days?
Are you still interested in inquiring on here?

If we accept things like distance and depth as thoughts, we cannot experience them.

Are they only thoughts if you accept them? Or, are they already thoughts whether you accept them or not?

There are sensations occurring throughout the body. One of them is chills. Others are regional and different from sensations felt throughout the body and have a location. When I close my eyes, the shape of the body comes to my mind, I can't prevent it.


That’s fine! We can’t stop images from ...

I visualize because I can't see. Normally there is 3-dimensional space. depth height and width.


Yes, so you are visualising the location of a sensation. C an you actually feel where the sensation is?


Can we actually even see 3 dimensions?
Is there anything more to your visual experience than ...

I can feel where the feeling is in 3D space. It is like a vague cloud that has no center or boundaries.

How do you know that the space is 3D?
Can you actually feel dimensions?
Can you feel any vertical, horizontal, or forward/backward axis? Or only visualise them?

Sorry for the slow reply, I missed the notification of your response.

In fact, this feeling occurs in space, but an image is formed in the mind and helps us determine a point where this feeling occurs. Just like determining the location of an event occurring on earth with the help of maps. When a ...

I'm sure it occurred in my chest and I feel it there now. Definitely not on your arm, for example. emotion is a label but there is a feeling there.


Close your eyes.

Can you still feel the feeling?

If so, does the feeling occur in your chest?

What is ‘chest’ in addition to the feeling?

Is ...

It appears as feelings in certain parts of the body as a true experience. For example, I call them emotions that occur more in my stomach or chest.


Do feelings happen in parts of the body? Do you know where feelings appear when they are actually happening, or only afterward, as an image or word ...

So I can know the desires and tendencies that arise within me right now.

Let’s go into it more; and how do these desires and tendencies appear right now? What form do they take? What are there components in terms of direct experience?
