You look in a mirror before going out to see 'how you look' or 'what you look like' to others, to arrange things and correct any errors in presentation that are correctable. It is for others and also for yourself it might inform you of a mood that you are only half aware of. You don't see yourself you see an image, one which can be conjured by this simple exercise, a reproducible proxy for the always invisible self. In the same way and thought or inner perception or intentional reference to yourself is made via a convenient image, in this case a compound of certain fixed ideas and some constantly updated feelings, a familiar synesthetic compound, but also merely an image, a proxy for the ever invisible self, what it is that sees and can never be seen. The two are of entirely different natures and should never be confused.
