Everything that can be located in experience has causal antecedents and consequences, and so the experiencing itself has no such location. Nonetheless life starts out from the assumption that everything that arises does so just because it is experienced. Even though consciousness is not an event, it seems to matter above all in determining events. This belief is relinquished bit by bit as a result of 'becoming experienced'. And when it is entirely dissolved, when it is seen that only events cause events, that everything you are is an instance of the world, of the world at work, then it is revealed to have been true all along, but in an entirely unexpected way.
