Doubt or seeking is simply the result of a difference in the self-certainty of subjective and objective being, although saying it this way begs the question of the subject/object distinction. It would be better to accept that there is self-certainty without an assumption as to what form it takes. Why would there be any motivation to resolve doubt, much less a persistent and nagging tendency if there were not an immediately known criterion of certainty - but this inner-self certainty is not known or admitted since it has no objective quality. The cogito is of course an epochal attempt to bridge the gap, but it fails by setting up the 'I' as the self-certain object. There is self-certainty but it belongs more to the unveiledness inherent in awareness than to the volatile and situational centre of knowing. The self-evident is experienced with an absolute minimum of intent or cognitive pressure, but every positive experience of a something involves so application of such pressure. These (pressure and no pressure) must not be viewed as contraries on the same level. What is needed is their complete interpenetration.
