Step into your bathroom. Turn on the lights. Wipe mirror with a damp cloth. Look.
Do you see your eye? Of Course you do. But what you don’t see is the source of your vision.
In fact, what you see in the mirror cannot be the source of your vision. In fact, it can be anything but the source of your vision.
Your source of vision may never see itself. And anything you see as the source of your vision, by that very fact, is confirmed as not being the source of your vision.
There are no claims of error in which I can have greater conviction. [Note that these Axioms of Sight precede and preempt the Axioms of Logic which originate in primary ontological assumptions. See the Posts on the Origins of Formal Logic.]
This Axioms can be extended at many levels. I can’t see the source of my seeing, hear the source of my hearing and so on.
More generally, I can’t have any true relationship with ‘Me’. Any relationship I have can only be with ‘Me’, the idea of ‘Me’, in a confounding of ‘Object’ as ‘Subject’.
The Axioms of Sight are the Virgin Twins. They are not to be violated. So what happens if I do? I then: ‘Give Birth To Myself’.
I look into a mirror. And I am absolutely certain that what I see is the source of my vision.
In claiming to see my own eye, I become an Object to myself as Subject. I double, I multiply and divide.
The ‘Cycle of Birth and Death’. The Self-Loop.
