If God did not exist, intentional states of consciousness would not exist. But intentional states of consciousness do exist. Therefore, God exists. Peter Kreeft has put forward a deductive form of the argument from consciousness [7] based upon the intelligibility of the universe despite the limitations of our minds. He phrases it deductively as ...
Choking under pressure decreases the standard level of athletic performance, of an athlete when they may be at their peak performance. [7] Symptoms of choking may include tightening up of the muscles, an increased level of anxiety and a decrease in self-confidence. Choking can leave an athlete feeling embarrassed or frustrated.

By appearing to itself, Sartre argues that ...
Dignaga gives three reasons for why cognition can grasp an object and itself. Without a self-reflexive nature, there would be no difference between a) cognition of the object, and b) awareness of the cognition of the object. If the cognition only grasped itself, the content of an earlier cognition would be gone when a later cognition takes place.
