There is no particular truth in present experience in the details of its phenomenology since if your circumstances were to suddenly change the quality of experience would be completely different. A state might define itself as the very absence of a certain quality which a pure contingency might bring about so that that state transforms into the absence of the absence of the same quality while remaining the 'same' state. The energy is in the pivoting which transforms the experienced quality. This is like saying that the true life is always meta- to the life you happen to be experiencing, or simply that you have to change the quality of your experience to know what the quality of your experience really is. Of course just describing your experience with care and detachment is enough to induce something of this change just because you have surrendered all desire to change it. If external circumstances bring about the change you feel cheated even as you enjoy the result: 'It was that simple?' How to awaken to where you determine experience at the same time as you are suffering it?
