experience occurs continously, because the interaction of live creature and environing condition is involved in the very process of living. Under conditions of resistance and conflict, aspects andelements ofthe self and the world that are implicated in this interaction qualify experience with emtions and ideas so that conscious intent emerges.

We have an experience when the material experienced runs its course to fulfilllment. Then and then only is it intergrated within and demarcated in the general stream of experience from other experiences. Such an experience is a whole and carries with it its own individualizing quality and self-sufficiency. It is an experience.

A flight of stairs, mechanical as it is, proceeds by individualized steps, not by undifferentiated progression, and an inclined plane is at least marked off from other things by abrupt discreteness.


Experienc in this vital sense is defined by those situations and episodes that we spontaneously refer to as being 'real experiences'.

Because of continuous merging, there are no holes, mechanical junctions, and dead centers when we have an experience. There are pausesm places of rest, but they punctuate and define quality of movement. They sum up what has been undergone and prevent its dissipation and idle evaporation. continued acceleration os breathless and prevents parts from gaining distinction. In a work of art, different acts, episodes, occurrences melt and fuse into unity, and yet do not disappear and lose their own character as they do so-just as in a genial conversation there is a continuous interchange and blending, and yet each speraker not only retains his own character but manifests it more clearly than is his wont.
In an experience, flow is from something to something like a flowing river.
As one part leads into another and as one part carries on what went before, each gains distinctness in itself. The enduring whole is diversified by successive phases that are emphases of its varied colors.


There is no conclusion which exist alone. It is outcome of series of movements and experiences like the continued waves in the ocean.
A conclusion is no separate and independent thing; it is the consummation of a movement.
