You turn attention to some objective, something in your own flow of experience, a certain quality in the thoughts that pass, say. Your attention questions the phenomenon and the answer is before you. In some sense you must have already known, so as to have been able to rightly direct attention. Matters are brought up from the fringes and made central and then go back to the fringes. All of this knowingness and purposive action is intrinsic, is already there before any objects or theory of objects. This strange transparent and living knowingness.
