    Yes that's what I believe too, it's not given, it is derived through the inner intuition. And that's why the knowledge of the object, as myself, is subjective rather than objective, as I explained, even though it is knowledge of the object (the subject is the object). We still cannot bypass the medium which is the inner intuition.

    So the object is not directly given, it is understood through the temporal order of internal things, just like the outer object is understood through spatial relations. However, I do believe that since the inner intuition is a part of the object to be understood, there actually is an aspect of the object which is given, that's the inner intuition. But the inner intuition is proper to this specific type of object, a subject, and that's why our knowledge of the object (as the subject, oneself) is subjective.
