Consciousness is not in space or time, this is astounding enough, but in addition you cannot say that space and time are in consciousness because then you are picturing consciousness as space-like, going further with a metaphor than the brief insight it might legitimately contain. Space and time are for consciousness, but neither the topology nor the ontology of our ordinary self-centred experience of the world give any clue to what this consciousness, which is all that we can ever be, is 'like' - in fact again, it cannot be like anything, it doesn't belong to experience. It is a further twist on the eye being unable to see itself, the subject not being any sort of object, here that which makes experience possible cannot be brought nearer by way of any understanding or thought process, since these latter can only be analogies of experience. The only experience of the experiencer is the experiencing itself and nothing that is or can be experienced.
