Proof I am experiencing

Begin by acknowledging my claim: I am having an experience. You may choose to accept or reject this assertion, or perhaps you're uncertain. You may even hold prior knowledge that corresponds to what I'm about to disclose. You possess the knowledge that you are experiencing. This experience I'm creating for you acts as your evidence, an internal, subjective truth. Assuming I am a separate entity from you, you can deduce that I am also experiencing something. This inference is based on my demonstrated awareness of your experience, an awareness communicated through the act of writing to you about it. However, if I am not separate but identical to you, then you still arrive at the same conclusion: I am experiencing. You know this because you are experiencing. In essence, regardless of whether I am seen as another or as a reflection of you, your understanding of your own experiences provides evidence of my experiences. Your consciousness, whether perceived in isolation or in unity with mine, attests to the reality of my own experience.   Using my own logic I know you are experiencing. Now can we can address the deeper matters of existence?
