Self-awareness which ought perhaps to seen as pure undeserved bounty instead has the nature of a project. It is going somewhere but the destination, which can be named as self, can only be inferred. In the action of awareness both subjectivity and objectivity are furthered, but as long as they remain, and as long as they remain distinct, the project cannot terminate, so in the limit they must mutually annihilate. The limit is also the reality of the process. Awareness may enter into the symbolic, but this is a premature synthesis of subject and object and the journey through it is long, the self striving to become meaning until it discovers its fundamental incompatibility with it. To become meaning would be to put the ground of the self outside the self, an eminently sociable aspiration. It would be a solution, but any solution merely limits the infinite fecundity of the question.
