I put in the previous post that the mind -
consciousness - reflects
that this is the process of knowing
the object of knowledge - of consciousness of the
mind - is that which is outside
the mind - consciousness is the inside of the body
the body is outside - the world if you like is outside
that which is outside is the object of knowledge
consciousness - the mind - is not - outside itself
therefore - it is not the object of knowledge
the point being
there is no knowledge of consciousness - of the mind
we cannot know the nature of the mind
consciousness is knowing - not the object of knowledge
the mind - knowing - is unknown
the best we can say is consciousness reflects -
this statement itself is a reflective statement
this is a statement of what the mind does
not what it is - if what it is - is to mean something
other than what it does
what the action of the mind is
and any reflection on reflection
is but - logically speaking a statement of reflection
we are aware of what the mind does - its action
awareness is not knowledge
