consciousness is a focus
(it knows what it sees)
and knows that it is a focus
that is - that it is not limitless - all seeing -
all knowing
so consciousness knows it is defined - that it
operates within limitations
and the limitation is not just the specificity
of focus
but also
the nature of the ground -
its ground
the ground of focus
- i.e. - its reason -
however - here too there is knowledge - knowledge
that a ground exists -
not one though that consciousness - sees
description of what is seen
the domain of focus
is a secondary function - of consciousness
consciousness - sees - but on reflection how
to describe?
so what is seen is presented - but not known
reflection demands description
description is not given in presentation
it is post-presentation -
and how does it come about?
here - consciousness - creates out of nothing -
the nothing that is presentation
here is the mystery of consciousness -
the act of creation
- of thought
- primal thought -
what is presented -
and even - what is beyond -
and beneath
what is presented
it is here we have our conceptions of the world
our descriptions
our explanations
we may be able to explain such - causally -
as it were
- one idea led to another - and - this came out
of such and such a need -
- OK - this though in reflection on the conception
created -
it does not account for - nor can it - account for -
the act of creation
which is thus
the fundamental unknown
that is the foundation of consciousness
