Experience demands recognition. If I didn’t recognise it, I wouldn’t know I’m experiencing. And I recognise it because of the past. The past has had memories of that and says, ‘That is that.’ That’s fairly sane, clear. Now, when the mechanical process of recognition comes to an end, in the sense that it is to be used but has no significance when something totally new takes place, you cannot recognise it. The recognising process cannot interpret the new, which you have never, under any circumstances, seen and therefore you cannot experience it. The experience means recognition; recognition means a memory of which you have already been told or experienced, or you are conditioned to respond, react to it. Therefore, when there is no recognising process, there is nothing to experience, and therefore the thing is totally, completely new.
