Aesthesis (Aesthetic Process)

Aesthesis causes the phenomenon now enveloping you. As the complete process of feeling, it is raw, immediate, and instantaneous. Aesthesis is the harmonization (in perception) of the senses and feelings conveyed and provoked by Reality, a harmonization that feels like a "moment of experience". Aesthesis is the phenomenon producing the total feeling you carry with this and every other waking moment.

The aesthesis of Reality is the origin of any thing that may be called a phenomenon. Phenomena not only happen, they are happening themselves. Phenomena are "aesthetic distinctions" made in the phenomenon known as Reality – or the "happening whole". You can think of Reality as "phenomena writ large".

As a process, aesthesis is the harmonization of perceived aspects of Reality in a phenomenological ensemble. This ensemble is a basic relation mapping all aspects in perception to a Total Aesthetic Field.
