Experience fails at the generality this concept aims at since it implies a certain detachment - do you have experiencing? or are you immersed in experiencing, or in the experiencing? This works because you can in some degree reflect on past experiences or anticipate future ones, but what is actually going on - not now, but always, ever - there cannot be a now it is an invented idea is never experience, never experienced. It's true that there seem to be exceptions for certain peaks, high (or low?) ('I had to pinch myself...') but on closer examination they confirm and reinforce the rule. But simply reducing the gap inherent between experience and whatever it is that is happening is desirable.
