reflection
what it is - how it is to be described or explained?
is finally no more than an other reflection
a reflection on reflection
we can't get outside of it - in fact strictly speaking we can't say there is an outside to it
so where is the self in all this?
the self is a reflection
a meta reflection
an organizing principle
an argument for stability -
and one that seems to work
at the centre of this?
well some say - mind
as if there is a substance - to which these - all reflections - refer logically
the primary reflection of the outside world is just this - of substance
this is the walking down the street view
it doesn't last long
if - if you reflect on it
but substance is a reflective construct
the reflection that is mind - is
a clear reflection of this
I speak of mind as reflection - as an operation
this is my preferred view -
the thing is beyond this what can we say?
what is the essence of it?
what is that point of unity of inside and outside?
what is behind it - if you like?
the answer here is empty
I don't want to say the question is not meaningful
just that there is nothing in the place where the answer should be
it is an open logical space
