One way or another, whether you go all out or all in, you end by coming up against a primal distinction. It is perhaps an idea of a space opening up inside of something which is spaceless and timeless, which has no inside, a something, undifferentiated, which is not a something. How can a thought or an act divide the undifferentiated if the thought or act is not itself already differentiated, and if it cannot deliver its own happening and mode of happening? This first impossible differentiation is the original face. It is as if carved out of the Living and is its deepest reality, since living or soul is distinction that bears no distinction. Of course living may be an abstraction to emphasise that death is relative to life and not the other way around, or what amounts to the same thing, that when a distinction initiates irreversible consequences it creates an actuality which is already life, as when we speak of the living rock. If we try to figure the original break we strive to imagine an unimaginable simplicity, but just the opposite is also required, as when we consider the origins of biological life; the simplest unit that could start the process lying not a single chemical bond but in a complexity of bonds that form a system or society of persistence and transmission and response and adjustment - of experience in short. Imagine then something so simple that when its wholeness is breached the response that arises from this very simplicity is, or rather includes, the excretion of the world of experience.
