If we are looking for a new experience we must be willing to be present in the moment and open to seeing things from that viewpoint. We can see the past and live there but that is not a new experience we can project to the future but even that is not a new experience because we make that projection based on the past.
The way we have a new experience is to be in the moment and allow it to unfold without our ego judgment of it. If we do become aware that the ego is placing its judgment on a situation or person we can forgive ourselves and ask spirit to help us see the truth instead of the past
