So you are identifying experience as something that is formed by the consciousness but it is not itself a thing that exists. How does this make any sense DBT?
You are twisting what said in order to say it doesn't make sense, thereby hoping to justify your own ideas.
As I've already said too many times, consciousness is the the experience.
Consciousness is not a single thing. The word 'consciousness' refers to a collection of functions, features and attributes, vision, hearing, touch, smell, thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc....not always present at the same time.
It is groundhog day.
Consciousness is being aware of experience, not the experience.
Experience is just a set of external or internal circumstances.
Consciousness is not that in any way.
Consciousness is that which is aware of internal and external circumstances.
And it is whole and singular. It is not one thing experiencing sound and another experiencing sight. It is the same thing experiencing both. The same thing experiencing jealousy and anger. The same thing experiencing thoughts.
That which experiences.
Not the experiences.
You can't change that.
For there to be experience as humans understand the word there has to something that experiences. There cannot just be that which is experienced.
