Experience is an aspect of existence that appears to us. It is termed as "appearance" because we never perceive existence as it truly is. Instead, we perceive a distorted version limited by our senses. Experiences emerge from non-substantial possibilities and are not the essence of what truly exists. The existence itself manifests as experience, but due to the limitations of sensory instruments, this manifestation is inherently distorted.

Experiences are not reality but perceptions limited by senses. It can take infinite forms depending on the type and capacity of the sensory instruments. They are in a state of perpetual change. Some change rapidly, some slowly. However, all experiences are impermanent and false. They arise from an infinite ocean of potential. Their true nature, like the experiencer, is emptiness. At the core, experience and experiencer are one - the same existence manifesting as both.

Most experiences are mediated by the senses, which limit the infinite potential to finite perceptions at any given time. Still the stream of experiences is infinite and ever-flowing. They do not occur within the confines of time. Time itself is an experience. It is logically impossible to determine the beginning or end of any experience. Also, experience exists without a specific cause. Attempts to identify a cause lead to circular reasoning, as the cause itself becomes another experience. There is no definitive process by which experiences manifest. If a process were defined, it too would become part of the experience. Similarly, experiences do not belong to a specific place. Instead, places arise within experiences.

People and creatures are experiences that view one existence from countless perspectives. While experiences may appear numerous, they are fundamentally one. The illusion of multiplicity arises from the interplay of senses and memory. Without memory, there can be no experience, as memory provides the structure that gives meaning to sensory impressions. Change is perceived through comparison with stored memory. Without memory, there can be no perception of change. Illusion does not imply the absence of existence but rather a misinterpretation of what is. When conditioning is dropped, it becomes evident that there are only appearances. Change are illusions rooted in memory and sensory processes.

The essence of experience is emptiness. Experiences arise from infinite potential within emptiness. They persist momentarily due to memory, giving illusion of stability and meaning. Time itself is a byproduct of this persistence in memory. Manifested experiences are limited structures within infinite possibilities. Without these limitations, there would be no discernible experience. They provide a sense of meaning, although illusory, through interrelated patterns. Thus, experiences are manifestations of infinite potential, mediated by senses and memory, and are illusory. Their essence is emptiness.
