All experience is intelligible, but with an intelligibility that is finite, that resolves into finite relations within a field of experience. It is never true and yet is related to possibility of truth. Whether it is mostly made up out of thinkables or whether it is largely feeling or desire it is oriented and steeped in meaning - even absurdity is a form of meaning - intelligibility being inescapable, is the very stuff of experience. The experiencing, on the other hand being without relations, being upstream of form, would seem to be beyond or free of all intelligibility. This can't be so. Experience fails in its intelligibility in the same way in which it fails to reflect or contain experiencing, so that the intelligibility of experience is the muted echo of experiencing. It is the mistaken objectification of experience which has it as the extreme point of the unintelligible, rather it is infinite intelligibility and is free only from being thinkable. Ask instead where the intelligibility of thought (or experience) comes from and see that it cannot come from thought or from any relations of experience. Thought can't hold it but reflects it fleetingly and that is why it is thought.
