The current meditation is an attempt to think a phenomenological horizon from an existential situation taken from Kafka’s novel: “The Trial”. This phenomenological horizon tries to recover the possibility as an eminent mode of existing’s being, inorder to gain clarity regarding the problem of consciousness. Consciousness is analyzed using Martin Heidegger’s book “Being and Time”, particularly its Second Section. In order to achieve this, the phenomenon of guilt as a promise so that the existing, when necessary, can conquer its own being, its self, is analyzed. This analysis concludes using the Delphic proverb “Know yourself!”, as this proverb symbolically represents the path followed to determine the main purpose of our meditation: todevelop a phenomenological horizon of selfhood of the Dasein.
