   reply to Caroline’s question.

   I’m sorry to have let this languish.

   You ask about the difference between experience and the content of experience. The issue of ‘quality’ matters here, more or less in the sense that people invoke when they speak of spending ‘quality time’ with their children. Quality is only a part of; the process of experiencing is also part. So suppose I ask someone to do something for me and she says no. The content is ‘no’: that’s *what* I hear. Her tone of voice and physical presentation is part of the *quality* of what I experience, even if I don’t consciously take note of it. Then there is my immediate reaction, which is part of *how” I experience it. And then I might also notice my own reaction as it arises. All this is part of the field: a field is a deeply and richly multidimensional whole. How this relates to ‘new facets’ of time, space, and knowledge is something we would have to really reflect on.

   Emerging from first UK study group meeting, I would welcome some clarification about difference between experience and the content of experience. I see the difference between the quality of sounds and their significance but am not clear how this relates to a broader picture. Are we being asked to focus more on the ‘experiencer’ and the ‘process of experiencing’ rather than ‘what’ is being experienced? Does the invitation relate to the KTS (xvii) reading for June: “When we shift our attention from what is given in experience to the way in which it is given, new facets of time, space and knowledge are revealed.”? Is this somehow related to what is known as ‘fields’ in the TSK vision?
