Eric Silber states:

According to Buddhist tradition of analysis of the self, it is
the absence of intension which allows the self to be fully present.
Also, the deepest understanding, in the buddhist view, comes when
one is freed from intentionality.


How can one analyze the self without intentionality?  Somehow
I dont believe that Buddhist analyze the self at all.  To
analyze the self is to cloud the self with intent.
