"subject <=> object"

(Peter Uspensky)
All that said Gurdjieff, all I thought of myself, especially one that showed me try to recollect himself, soon convinced me that I was faced with a whole new problem that did not pay attention while neither science nor philosophy.
But before drawing conclusions, I'll try to describe their attempts to self-remembering. The first impression was that it attempts to recollect himself, saying: "I'm coming, I'm doing", constantly feel is the "I" - stop the thought. When I felt the "I", I could not think or talk, and even feelings became clouded. Furthermore, in a similar way to remember it is possible within a very short time.
Previously I have done a few experiments the suspension of thought on the methods mentioned in the books on the practice of yoga. Such a description is available, for example, in the book of Edward Carpenter, "From Adam's Peak to Elephanta," although it is quite broad. My first attempt to recollect himself reminded me of just these experiments. In fact, it was all the same - with the only difference being that when you stop thinking of consciousness and attention is fully absorbed by the efforts to prevent the emergence of new ideas, whereas in recall attention is divided, and one part of it is directed to the same force, and the other - to sense of self.
Realizing this feature, I was able to come to some possibly very incomplete definition of "self-remembering", which, however, in practical terms, has proved very useful.
I'm talking about a divided attention, a characteristic trait of self-remembering. It seemed to me as follows.
When I watch something, my focus is on the observed object, and it can be represented by an arrow:
I -> the observed phenomenon
And when I try to remember yourself at the same time, my focus is on the object, and at himself. There is a second hand:
I <-> the observed phenomenon
Having determined this fact, I realized that the problem is to draw attention to themselves, not weakening and narrowing attention, which in this case is directed at other sites. Moreover, this "other object" can be both inside and outside of me.
