reflections

a reflection is a reflection

and here we are speaking of

reflections of the unknown

so

the relation between the two reflections?

x reflects y
y reflects x

what does this mean?

what I think is clear is that the mind as a reflection of the body

is not a mirror image

and visa versa

hence e.g. the mind does not know the body - in toto

rather the knowledge is phenomenal - surface

and of course

what is it to say the body knows the mind?

the body and the mind

from the point of view of the body

there is no point of view -

or

the mind is this point of view

this is what the mind is

and so

the body is only

the mind's object

the mind the body's subject

mind and body are terms of a relation

it is the relation

that is 'above' the mind and body

that is - the unity

and it is a unity

again

like the foundation

that can only be expressed

in terms of the relationship

the relationship

the relation

cannot be further elucidated

but the important thing is

we are not talking about substance

the human being is not a substance (or substances)

rather

a relation

yes
