what are we to say of thought?
what is a thought?
we might think at first sight - not much to this issue
a thought is a thought
yes
but it is only thinking - the determination of a thought -
that enables us to form this question
and what is such a determination?
a thought
so reflective thinking can only uncover itself
thinking is thinking
about thought
thought is all that is thought
when we reflect on this (think about it)
we are only thinking a schemata for thought -
thought in relation to other thoughts
it's as if the idea of the mind as an object -
won't do - won't work -
the mind is always within the object
reaching - exploring - deciding -
it's the action in the object - within
it operates in the object
but only knows itself
what the mind does is knowing
and knowing (in this sense) always - knowing (noun)
knowing (verb) knowing (known and verb)
it's the knowing
the so called self-knowledge that is hard
to get a hold on
we naturally think and speak in terms of
subject / object
but it's clear that such a logic really doesn't
cut through here
rather the real picture is
like light seeing light
where the (source - the object) is the vision
(the subject)
so to go here
is to go to a pre-language state
it is to point to - a state prior to how we
understand mind
language separates the source from the vision
this is to say the mind moves to this level
and can only know (express) itself in these terms -
in this form
we can go back - look back - from this level -
this platform (subject / object) but beyond this is -
non-differentiation
it is to say - the mind is knowing
that's it -
if we want to characterize it - further
the only option is contrast - that which is not mind
that which does not know
and such is - the body? - the world
or should I say the mind's conception of______
