We are always unaware of now.

When one thinks or acts, the author says, one is notaware that he is acting or saying something, but may come to know so when he reflects on them immediately afterwards. But then again he is not aware that he is reflecting on his thought or action when he is reflecting on them, but he will reflect on his reflection on his action and thoughts, once they are completed, and thus become aware of them. This process goes on.

This process allows one to increasingly understand more yet something always remains outside one's own awareness, so that people are unaware of something, that is what they saying or doing now, at any given point in time,and that will be known soon, if they reflect on it.  

If one takes this as a hypothesis, one then may go ahea dand say or do something, and then reflect on them, and then repeat the process and so on.

Does reflection occur automatically or does it require efforts. It appears to me reflection that produces knowledge, that is more than vague awareness, requires efforts, whereas the one that produces vague awareness of something that has just completed does not require efforts. It justhappens.

I also remember every moment reflected upon includeswithin itself previous moments, so that the understanding now achieved, ifefforts has been extended, is higher than the one that has been achieved before,provided efforts has also been extended to that one too. So that awareness isincreasingly expanding, mirroring the expansion of the universe.
