I don't think I'd agree that memory is essential to experience (though I would agree that duration is), but take your point re 'contentless consciousness'. Nevertheless, I think a distinction can be made between the most simple experience, qualia or "what -it's likeness" and something wholly devoid of such features.

Whitehead characterised the most simple expereinces or 'prehensions' as being emotional in nature ('basic, blind appetitions of aversion or adversion'), though such characterisations were dependent on a complex metaphysical superstructure.

Hi, not sure if I'm quite getting this... If conciousness is a fundamental/ubiquitous property of matter or energy, then it has to be separated from various other phenomena which are seemingly emergent from the complexity of brains - memory, thought, emotion, identity, language. This makes 'experience' a misleading term because it has connections with memory - perhaps 'awareness' is more neutral. Anyway, there is a distinction between conciousness and what we always seem to experience (that word again) as the content of conciousness, memory, thought, etc. It becomes very difficult to say anything about this contentless conciousness; even if one has experienced it, the experience becomes memory and is related in language. As soon as one reflects on it, the 'purity' of conciousness is destroyed by the intrusion of emergent brain phenomena, fruit of the tree of knowledge?
