there's something called "the two attentions". in one frame of reference,
the skin acts as the boundary of self and everything observed through the
eyes is seen as "out there". through another frame of reference, the mind
retreats a step and can visualize that all observations are made from within
a bubble of reality which compromises the totality of self (there
is no
"outside" observed through that first attention).
here's an article which speaks of the two attentions with a different slant
than what i've outlined:

my thought is that the idea of
ORIGINS of ... Types of HUMAN Races
might be considered through a first attention perspective, or through a second
attention perspective. from what i understand of things, looking at the subject
from [strictly] a first attention viewpoint places the cause-effect dynamic
"outside" of our control/input... our desires are inconsequential. the timeline
of what occurs is preset and unalterable through that approach.
through the second attention viewpoint, we gain the power of being the cause
to the observations... we might modify the results to fit our desires.
i do not believe in an "objective reality" which determines my worth, utility,
and purpose. i believe that ALL observations, by any being anywhere, are
subjective in nature and by definition [even God is not an "object"].
