Whatever is objective to you you are outside of, so whatever you can come to know of yourself you are immediately outside it. There is not one thing outside of another thing, not a thing playing hide-and-seek with itself, but just a mind constrained by this subject and object structure. If the object or content is taken to be, then there must be a subject equally in being which is the witness and evidence to this. Mind is nothing but the taking up of contents and in doing so it reflexively appoints a posture or position which is off-stage but peripheral to the content. The position is also something taken up, back-handedly, and the content can only be had by assuming a subject as occupying that position, adopting the requisite posture. In other words, for each presentation there is a virtual subject, unseen but assumed to belong to the same staging as the object. If you want to understand your seeing of the object, what you ascribe this seeing to is this virtual subject, the complement of the object, co-partaker of the identical this, but itself a kind of object posited in a modification of presence, in the particular version of presence complementary to the given form of presence, and commonly called absence. The nature of the virtual subject is thus entirely determined by its corresponding object; the subjects of perception, of feeling, of knowing, of will are quite distinct except insofar as their defining postures include a blanket assumption of identity. But there is endless interest in the way this fictive identity plays its hand as it is forced out of passivity.
