How do "you" *know* that this is not one moment of consciousness recalling the experience of the immediately preceding moment of consciousness, which, in turn, may recall its immediately preceding moment—each moment having no other appearances or objects arising to it. Thus, due to the homogeneity of this mental continuum, with each moment of consciousness recalling the previous moment of consciousness, the experiential effect is that of consciousness apprehending itself? In other words "consciousness perceiving pure consciousness" is just a trained illusion or expectation.
