at the site of our own innermost being


intersubjective |ˌintərsəbˈjektiv|
adjective Philosophy
existing between conscious minds; shared by more than one conscious mind.
DERIVATIVES
intersubjectively adverb
intersubjectivity |-ˌsəbjekˈtivitē| noun

I located the applicable line in the Weschler essay that I responded to in my essay about David Lynch's Mullholland Drive that I posted yesterday:

"As in both the Vermeer and the Velázquez, turning away she is turning toward, as in turn are we through her.
Intersubjectivity: gazing back, outward, at the site of our own innermost being (70)."

You should still read the essay, and probably buy the book.
