If subjective, centred awareness is fielded by a background consciousness, then that background consciousness shares little of its phenomenology. It is not like subjective awareness only bigger, as an over-soul or super-ego or Self etc. This is because in relation to the subject it is both light, as in more you than you, and dark an opaque other to whom the subject is subjected. This idea is already implicit in that of the unconscious mind as the matrix of the conscious mind. You cannot 'identify' as a kind of consciousness that contains both of these elements seamlessly. You are biased to the light and can only identify as light, which is itself a kind of blindness.
