temporal.” How the experience and embodiment reveals the character of our being-in-theworld? As Merleau-Ponty claims that “…the experience of our own body teaches us to embed space in existence” (Merleau-Ponty, 2005, p.171), and “…we are our body…the body is a natural self and, as it were, the subject of perception” (Ibid., p.239). Therefore, our experience is a modality of perception and of the relationship between body and world. In this sense, when we experience space, space is identical to us with our experience; experience is ‘Lived experience’, and ‘Co-existence’. As Merleau-Ponty says that “…every object is the mirror of all others…Any seeing of an object by me is instantaneously reiterated among all those objects in the world which are apprehended as co-existent, because each of them is all that the others ‘see’ of it… the house itself is not the house seen from nowhere, but the house seen from everywhere” (Ibid., p.79). This seeing concept reminds of “Hand with Reflecting Sphere” of M.C. Escher (1935) (Figure 15). What “the house seen from everywhere” imply? The lived experience shows “the spatio-temporal structural of perceptual experience of body” (Langer, 1989, p.25) which is not an object thing: “we experience the unity of the object as correlated that of our body; and we experience our being in the world before we ever arrive at the idea of an external world…Underlying that reflective procedure which tears the subject away from its body and its world, we find a pre-reflective experience in which our body, things and the world are
