If I can be universally and uniquely designated then I am necessary, and hence I must exceed the moment in some way, in enough of a way to... But there may be something entirely different going on: clear seeing is always available to me in its unquestionable simplicity and directness, but does it entail a knowledge and hence a one who knows?
