"The mind of man, throughout its experience of knowing, transcends the act of knowing an object, and in the same pulse of experience in which it knows the object, knows itself as knowing it. This unique peculiarity of self-identity and the inner grasp of itself in all its intelligent processes belongs inherently to mind at this stage of spirit. We shall get nowhere with our theories of knowledge until we stop talking of the mind as though it were merely a receptacle - a bird-cage to be filled from the outside - and learn to think of it as a living, active system of experience, unified and controlled from within" From book "The Eternal Spirit" by Dr. C. C. Crawford
