Self-awareness is not objectification — it is non-objectifying self-presence. This is presented as Abhinava's own reasoning (yukti), not a scripture quotation.",

This is one of his most fundamental philosophical claims: the nature of consciousness is self-awareness, and this self-awareness has a spontaneous, creative dimension (the seed mantra SAUḤ). The argument is presented as a conclusion from reasoning, not an appeal to scripture.",
