John, John, John,

Unpatterned experience is direct experience without static patterns of value.  You do 
no like my use of 'unpatterned experience', you say to hear the term gives you gas, 
but I remember you didn't like my definition of the self either.  Both self and 
unpatterned experience cannot be bound by  words, so I grant you that the words 
I use to refer to either are false.
