Simply perceiving some object, external or internal, does not coincide with 'intentionality' since this latter concept with its implication of intent, or of potential intent, adds a directionality, a vector to the perceiving, one that goes from you to the object. In this way it begs the question of the 'natural attitude' which is what is to be laid aside - intended to be laid aside. The perceiving precedes directionality, which if it is added on, can go in any direction. Allowing it to point from the object towards you, whatever you might be, the natural attitude is either gone or reappears simply as another possible object.
