No Way Out

"Whatever you experience has already been experienced by someone else. Your telling yourself, «Ah! I am in a blissful state,» means that someone else before you has experienced that and has passed it on to you. Whatever may be the nature of the medium through which you experience, it is a second-hand, third-hand, and last-hand experience. It is not yours. There is no such thing as your own experience. Such experiences, however extraordinary, aren't worth a thing."
