This understanding of experience is as what you are, not something you have or can have. The erection of the person through objectified and 'curated' experiences is something else again. Similarly any talk of a flow or flux of experience, although hard to resist, is beside the point, since the flowing or sense of motion and change is a component not a property of experience. It is easy to take experience as the totality of what you feel and perceive or perceive and feel, but it also includes everything you do, everything that arises as emanating from you such as your thoughts and purposive intentions. If you are 'watching your thoughts', you are not the watcher of your thoughts but the awareness of the watching of your thoughts, an acrobatic gesture that rarely comes off. So you are also the awareness of the impossibility of watching your thoughts, of the not even clearly knowing what a thought is, etc. All of your thoughts about thoughts are derived under a paradigm in which thoughts are something you have. This is a wholly contingent paradigm, but although you can know this you should not pretend to have fully encountered that contingency.
