The notion of experience as a stream of raw sensations which are filtered and sorted by rapid pre-conscious mental processes and then constituted into personal experience by higher order functions already contaminated by language and metaphysics is hardly true to life. For anything to qualify as experience, no matter how raw, it must be taken as already belonging to a personal point of view. To be known is to be known by..., to happen is to happen to... .There is no fixity or constancy about these contexts of experience, and there doesn't need to be in order for them to be projected as belonging to the same higher-order identity. This is either because there is no witness that could discriminate or identify them, or because they draw equally upon a deeper matrix of identity. At any rate, this is the reason why 'who am I?' is always an available inquiry; there is always a who prior to every what.
