Consciousness's Ultimate Nature

Is consciousness ultimately self-reflexive and self-aware? Rupert says: ‘Awareness is self-luminous like the sun – it knows itself just by being itself without needing to turn around and reflect on itself. When consciousness localises in a finite mind, that mind does need to practice self-reflection to know itself. But infinite consciousness doesn’t know its knowing of itself – it is just pure knowing. The sun doesn’t need to illuminate its illumination of itself; consciousness doesn’t need to reflect on its knowing. It knows itself just by being itself.’
