Love the intellectualizing about experience and Radical Empiricism, especially by those whose rationalization that they just don't have the patience. I heard tell that William James claimed not to be able to keep his mind still for more than a minute or two. So if it wasn't experience that informed W.J. I will speculate that it was reading Schopenhauer and books on Buddhism. Very clever, but regurgitated blah, blah, blah...
"The purpose of mystic meditation is not to remove oneself from experience but to bring one's self closer to it by eliminating stale, confusing, static, intellectual attachments of the past."
(LILA, Chapter 9)
