ON MATTERS RELATING TO EXPERIENCE

It is clear that experience is our most precious possession. Everything in the whole universe is resolved into our inward experiences. We can define experience, in this regard, therefore, as a reflection of our own consciousness. This is so in that our consciousness which give us the ability to think, constitute our inward experience, attained in our thinking; for it is true that without this consciousness, there is no reality.  This thinking in turn, is the determining factor of who we are from within, which is reflected and mirrored in our outward lives accordingly. It is, therefore, clear why your mental attitude determines what you become and  reflects in your outwards experiences.
It is also true, to say that, all that we know is contained in our individual experiences and all that we will ever know must pass through experience before it can form in us as a part of us, in our individual worlds.
But to those who may read groom and doom in this knowledge can seek solace in the fact that, we have been given power over what we become, by our ability to control our thoughts. 
Thoughts alone, however, will not be enough to change our individual worlds. This is so in that our thoughts are generated by our desires and aspirations.
It is, therefore, important to harbor good desires and aspirations as they will help propel our thoughts to the innermost core of Mother Nature, where the thoughts are fertilized with the necessary blessings in order to manifest into their kind, in the inevitable law of reaction and, shape themselves in our outwardly life, in the form of our experiences. This gives credence to our credulity on the aphorism, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."
In his book, Mind is the Master, James Allen says that, "Whatsoever you harbor in your inmost chambers of your heart will, sooner or later by inevitable law of reaction, shape itself in your outward life. The soul that is so impure, sordid, and selfish is gravitating with unerring precision toward misfortune and catastrophe; the soul that is pure, unselfish and noble is gravitating with equal precision toward happiness and prosperity."
