There are no general states only particular ones, except that particular makes no sense in the absence of the general. The distinction of the two terms is meaningful from the perspective of the general, but try to imagine what this distinction would be from the alternate perspective, if there was such an alternative. Thinking which is the process of thoughts is directed to the world of meanings which is made out of generalities, but it is experience and hence particular. That is why nothing you come up with can have any effect, it lives in a world which cannot reach that of experience, which has no world, which just is in an unnameable way. Experience, you could say, is split between a primary experience and a secondary experience which is about the primary experience and about itself. Secondary experience is aboutness and cannot be limited. All experience, nonetheless, is primary and about nothing, because it has no aboutness or reference. The being of secondary experience is primary and is split from its reference which is secondariness. This is a split that can never be resolved, it is a gap or gulf within experience and corresponds to a sort of loss of innocence, to the fall, or what some have called castration. This is way of indicating that there is an enjoyment in primary experience which is blocked, withheld, unavailable in secondary experience. It is not sexual enjoyment, but the latter is a vivid metaphor for it because it is excessive and unspeakable and because it structures every facet of life without being able to grasped, named, understood, or even seen or heard.
