Empirical consciousness arises merely in time as a function of the succession of presentations. Pure self-consciousness is an act lying outside of time, by which time itself is made manifest.
“Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.” – William James
Conditioned by form
Consciously productive
Mediating factor
An intuitively obvious idea is that truth must match reality to be true. Of course, reality is a huge indeterminate field of inexhaustible existence, rendering any possible correspondence fragmentary and incomplete.
“It is better to be vaguely right than to be precisely wrong.” – Walter Terence Stace

Additional adjustment
The fundamental identity of the activity concerned in generating existence is the same as that which finds expression in willing. The will displays itself as products at once conscious and nonconscious.
“I’ve had some really good times at gas stations.” – Alyson Hannigan
Structured fragments
Latent dispositions
Creative energy
Accepting the inevitable shadow elements as encountered, frees up uncharted mental domains. Identity is an amalgamation of thoughts, feelings, and possesses that come and go.
“What we call civilized consciousness has steadily separated itself from the basic instincts. But these instincts have not disappeared. They have merely lost their contact with our consciousness and are thus forced to assert themselves in an indirect fashion.” – Carl Jung
Intrinsic notion
Merely objective
Reciprocal concurrence
Sensibilities heighten in the pre-evening when walking around an unfamiliar city for the first time. Under such enchanting circumstances, aesthetic intuition itself becomes absorbed in the objective experience.
“The highest consummation of natural science would be the complete spiritualizing of all natural laws into laws of intuition and thought.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
Thought and life
Arises at the intersection
At a given moment
The shadow self relates to multiple others at an oblique angle, as the concept of the subjective is not contained in that of the objective. Nevertheless, objects of existence are inexhaustible.
“Nothing sensible – whether it be an affective or perceptual quality – can exist in the way it is given to me in the thing by itself, when it is not related to me or to any other living creature.” – Quentin Meillassoux

Side walking
Nature must exist even if there is no consciousness that is aware of its existence. As the shadowself and a close companion make their way down Poydras Street, the objective and the subjective are simultaneously united and mutually opposed.
“The intrinsic notion of everything merely objective in our knowledge we may speak of as nature.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Spirit transfer

Inside the Alexandria Genealogical Library, objects of practical attention take precedence over the theoretically possible. This orientation stems not from a primary conceptual justification, but rather from our actual existence as secular spirits.
“All proofs that the idealist offers for the existence of determinate external things must be derived from the primordial mechanism of intuition itself, that is, by a genuine construction of objects.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
Actuality operator
Context dependent
Referential explication
For Schelling, the self’s life is not a mathematicized interplay of eidetic shapes within time, but rather time itself. From this view, the finite endures and resists inclusion within any arbitrary totalization.
“For on the basis of this very same perception our utterance could have sounded quite differently and thereby have unfolded a quite different sense.” – Edmund Husserl

Riding shotgun around Alexandria Louisiana during the ‘blue hour’ is a rich cinematic excursion. The series lies in space as a function of duration.
“In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line.” – Henry David Thoreau
