Whatever object your attention falls upon is by that happening known not to be you, you, the one who is aware. Anything in the world that you can encounter directly falls under this immediate negation. But it is also true that whatever you do you are aware of doing it. This reflection, or ability to be reflected, of all events that take their origin from you is native to consciousness, is an immediate concomitant of any purposive action, no matter how subtle or almost involuntary. Just as with attention it falls under the same internal pattern as the distinction of the seer from the seen, now say, the doer and the doing. But what is this intrinsic reflection, this unity which can be expressed as if it amounts to being always able to say 'I do' (and not merely 'I think') without modifying the associated content? It is known or recognised almost in the very instant, but as if from just before. It reaches back before anything like an idea or image, it is a doubling of self-presence, and is the reason why being is sometimes referred to as 'pure act' - pure because precedes any specification of an action. A stationary movement within itself, but when you graze it ever so lightly it emits a bell-clear resonance.
