our knowing is two dimensional -
we know the inside
we know the outside
all our knowledge is limited internal / external
our knowledge of ourselves our knowledge of the world
our vision in / out is always limited
my point is that consciousness always knows the inside
and outside
knowing is never just a matter of observing
never just a question of reflection
always the vision is two-dimensional
I know myself as I appear
I know myself as I do not appear
I know myself as non-appearance to the world
as an internality
as an experience - if you wish
(traditional empiricism conflates - attempts to reduce -
the outside to the inside and then to construct the external
- from the internal - it's a cat chasing its tail)
the point is we begin - we are - in the centre
consciousness is the centre
the meeting - the inside and the outside
the inside and the outside are real - they are not constructions
however the moment of knowing is never divided
thought - language - breaks down the unity of consciousness
the unity of experience (subjective / objective)
