Beginnings

How can I understand it if I cannot experience it? How can I explain it if I cannot understand it? How can I control it if I cannot explain it?

Does everything, then, begin with experience? But, is experience not a set of feelings? Or, the result or residue of our feelings? Does everything, then, begin with feelings?

No, experience is not just feeling. It is also formed of an objective reality. In my view, experience and what you take away from it in form of feelings are two different entities.

I was simply pondering if everything begins with feelings (perceptions, not emotions) since, I believe, experiences last only for an instant, and leave behind a mere sensation of that experience. Perhaps I have it wrong.
