The source of experience is a point of being and awareness and as a result it seems to be a concentrated self-reflection, awareness of being and being of awareness. If an affective character is added, bliss, or love or compassion, the same is true with a more intricate inner dance. Self-reflection, or self-knowing is the invariant that emerges out of this, but all of this is based on taking the nature of the source of experience to consist of the same kinds of elements as those perceived in experience. When this is seen to be impossible - existence does not exist - then the whole notion of self-reflection disappears as pure illusion.
