Mental Images
The mental images and attitudes that determine how we experience
ourselves form the basis of a whole implicit worldview. We also
experience ourselves only indirectly, as a subject experiencing
an object. We are aware of ourselves as an object like other objects,
seeing ourselves in the world as one object among others. Even
when one is aware of oneself as perceiver or subject, this perception
is different from the direct sense of our facticity, from the
fact of our existence. We still know ourselves from the veil of
memory. (The Point of Existence, pg 21)
