The lifeworld grounds all experiences from "summary" of Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy by Edmund Husserl

The lifeworld is the foundational basis of all our experiences, serving as the ground from which they spring forth. It is the backdrop against which our perceptions, thoughts, and emotions unfold, providing the context in which they gain meaning and significance. Without the lifeworld, our experiences would lack coherence and unity, appearing as disconnected fragments devoid of any underlying structure. In the lifeworld, we encounter the world in its most immediate and direct form, engaging with it in a pre-reflective manner that precedes any theoretical or abstract considerations. This primordial mode of experience allows us to grasp reality in its concreteness, experiencing it as a rich tapestry of sensations, images, and meanings that are intimately intertwined with our lived existence. Through the lifeworld, we are able to navigate our way through the world, orienting ourselves in relation to the objects and events that populate our surroundings. It provides us with a sense of familiarity and security, grounding our experiences in a shared reality that is intersubjectively accessible to others. The lifeworld is not a static entity but a dynamic and constantly evolving domain that is shaped by our interactions with the world and with others. It is a living, breathing fabric of meaning that is continuously woven and rewoven through our ongoing engagement with the world. By recognizing the fundamental role that the lifeworld plays in shaping our experiences, we come to appreciate the richness and depth of our lived reality. We see that our encounters with the world are not isolated occurrences but are part of a larger tapestry of meaning that is woven together through our embodied existence.
