Reflection emerges as a new consciousness living in symbiosis with the consciousness reflected-on.

Evidence

Reflection is the for-itself conscious of itself. As the for-itself is already a non-thetic self-consciousness, we are accustomed to represent reflection as a new consciousness, abruptly appearing, directed on the consciousness reflected-on, and living in symbiosis with it. One recalls here the old idea ideae of Spinoza. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 505
