Subjectivity is an ability, the capacity to use a new inner mode of presenting the fact that you currently know something to yourself.

When you are simply observing your breath, you are perceiving an automatically unfolding process in your body. By contrast, when you are observing your wandering mind, you are also experiencing the spontaneous activity of a process in your body.

Imagine you are trying to lose weight and attempting to concentrate on writing an article, but there is a bowl with your favorite chocolate cookies in your field of vision, a permanent immoral offer. If we are capable of rejecting such offers or to postpone them into the future, then we can also concentrate on that which we currently want to do.

Someone who cannot stop his outer flow of words will soon be unable to communicate with other human beings at all.

Subjectivity means to catch yourself in the act.

Consciousness is phenomenologically subjective whenever there is a stable, consciously experienced first-person perspective.

Whoever loses the capability for inner silence, loses contact to himself and soon won't be able to think clearly any more.
