What it is least interested in is itself, but it appears to be interested in nothing else. It only wants itself in objective form, the object of desire is object above all. Subjection or objection? Why is the symmetry of the root terms lost in these forms? Thrown under or thrown against, flight or fight, tend or befriend? The situation of a self in relation to a world; the situation comes about and can only transform into other situations, wheeling and dealing. It is the situation of situations, the original regression or loop, coming about, being about; sit, the present subjunctive of esse, but also site, as in web-site. It strives to make everything into a mirror, sites proliferate, Crescite et multiplicamini, et replete terram, et subjicite eam... Make everything subject. The archaeology and history of being, explanation, exposition; but how does one thought follow on from another - centuries of introspection fail to produce an answer. Consciousness spreads out further and further but does not meet itself; is our vehicle but at its core is unconsciousness. The situation of the mind that identifies itself with consciousness, with presence, but is always absent so that things can appear. That things shine forth and appear to an observing subject only seems to be the truth, but this appearance, unable to render itself up to itself, is no appearance; just as presence unable to be present to itself is no presence.
