Consciousness Is Not an Object

The distinction between consciousness and objects is not understood in modern consciousness studies. Our tendencies to objectify everything, therefore we do one of one of two mistakes: take some subtle activity of the mind as conscious or say consciousness does not exist. The great philosopher David hume says when i examine myself, the inner self within, looking for my own self, it doesn't say, consciousness, i'm looking for the inner self. I don't find anything.
