Greetings SA,

I like the way you bring your experience into the conversation.  I 
always think, "Yes, it's about the Now."  Your picture is worth a 
thousand words.

I was trying to say something different.  I think if you setup an 
intellectual discussion centered on experience you might get a more 
MOQish, revealing set of answers.  Setting the question as 'What is 
the s/o experience? rather than 'What is SOM?' might reveal patterns 
from multiple levels.  In this case, that there is an Intellectual 
Level patterns involved: a philosophic dualism, a scientific 
approach, &etc., and a Social Level pattern involved: a cultural 
custom/belief/language that the world is made up exclusively subjects 
and objects.
