Is There a Content of Experience?

In most, for most people, most of the time, experience is taken up completely with the contents, thoughts, images, feelings, memories and so on. And there's one element of experience that we that we ignore, and that is whatever it is that is ware of the content of experience. So i would trace my way back, over and over and again, to my essential self, or my essential being. It involves a kind of softening of the focus of tention from the objective content of our experience,. an a coming back, sinking backwards of the attention towards the the presence of awareness which lies in the background of experience.
