The Proponents of Cognizance might ask, “If self-awareness did not exist, how would a previously experienced consciousness be recollected later?” The Centrists say: Such recollection is not due to the existence of self-awareness. At the given time, the arising of a recollection that focuses on a previous situation comes from the influencing connection with experiencing other causes and conditions.1501In his commentary on The Entrance into Centrism, Karmapa Mikyö Dorje says the following on this issue of selfawareness and recollection: Selfawareness is not even conventionally established through recollection. For, if there were certainty about a causal connection between self-awareness and recollection as there is between fire and smoke, [self-awareness] would be established [through recollection] in this way. However, such a causal connection is not established [for them]. If selfawareness is not only not established as the cause for recollection but not even [established] in itself, recollection as the [assumed] result for which this [unestablished selfawareness] functions as a cause is not established either. Thus, conventionally, though there is no self-awareness, mere recollection occurs, since it arises as such from the conditions from which recollection arises, . . . just as water [in a river] comes from rain and fire from rubbing [two] sticks. (Mi bskyod rdo rje 1996, p. 400). However, this is nothing but mistaking a present experience for a previous situation. However, this [recollection] is not the previous situation itself, because that has already ceased. It is never and nowhere possible that something that has ceased could arise again.
