107. We said “one cannot recognize intention as intention from the
outside” – i.e. that it is not something that happens, or happens to us, but
something we do. It is almost as if we said: we cannot see ourselves going to a
place, because it is we who are doing the going. One does have a particular
experience if one is doing the going oneself.
‘intention’ – is an explanation
of action –
it is a proposal –
what ‘we do’ – is describe –
and any description is open to
question – open to doubt
yes – you can say we do not stand
outside ourselves – and observe ourselves –
as to ‘having a particular
experience’ –
this is a description – a
proposal – that we can put forward –
to explain ourselves
