The dual evidence of the 'I' or self as the totality of ongoing experience and 'I' or self as the subject pole within experience can't be mapped in Euclidean space, something Escher-like or Klein bottle-ish seems to do a better job but is still imperfect because however close one gets the resulting picture merely expands the scope of the object-field and calls for a new twist in yet a higher dimension to accommodate the correlative subject. Nevertheless there are times when convergence is delightfully suspended and a sort of negative capability allows it all to seem obvious. This obviousness is itself a necessary component of any such integrated understanding. It must be obvious, blindingly and hilariously so, or it isn't right. The notion that the subject ought to vanish into a dimensionless point is a misleading one, it is not nothing and if it seems edifying to regard it as such to bring a portion of the picture into clarity, this intuition only goes so far. Better to reflect on the mysterious and unknown spontaneity of the subject. It is more like a black hole than a mathematical point, a black hole whose very blackness and emptiness 'yawns' with grace and love and universal well-being rather than horror. Origin of the world indeed!
