All consciousness is intentional, it is a seer seeing a seen. This is the clearest picture you can form of what is going on here and now, as you are aware of attention and the source and aim of attention. But this is only a picture, a powerful analogy based on the image of yourself as a body inside the space in which it is seen as lying. The more clearly you can make out this picture, the more closely you can track from moment to moment, the more it calls forth the question, 'and where are you seeing this from?', what is the point of view on your point of view? Is it a point? Could it possibly be a point? The further you go the more clearly you must answer no. You can't give any sort of name or form or bound to where you are seeing this from. It isn't even the kind of thing that could be called a seeing, and it doesn't belong to the inferred space of your bodily experience (which is never directly grasped, but only imagined in a peculiarly dream-like way.)
