The reason for speaking of these five mental events, beginning with feeling-tone as omnipresent, is that they are lumped together because they are events that operate in the wake of every mind situation.

    Moreover, if any one of the five omnipresent mental events is missing, the experience of the objects is incomplete.

• If there is no feeling-tone, there is no relishing of it.
• If there is no conceptualization, one does not get the specific characteristic of the object.
• If there is no directionality of mind, there is no getting on to the object.
• If there is no contact and rapport, there would be no basis for perception.
• If there is no attention, then the various objects would not be confronted.
