Objective being is the correlate of action or of intention to act (in the non-technical sense) or of its various modes such as desires, dispositions and so on. This applies to the mental or subjective sphere as well. For the most part when an experience is formulated as a thought there is a point at which it is first seized or gathered, this seizing or gathering being no metaphor but an inner act although possibly quite subtle. Whatever the experience was before it is now the object of that act. At the other more rare extreme the process is almost reversed and it is the words that come first, on wings as if by inspiration, and these direct the attention to some matter it would not have been able to take in before, and will not be able to fully re-evoke after. The point however is that whatever you can act on or comport yourself towards is objective, which means that it has self-identity, but in order for this to be the case there must be a something (but hardly a thing) that is open in some way but is not objective, which is a matrix in which what we later distinguish as subject and object, the "me"-ness and the "not-me"-ness in experience, are fused. To say that it is open is to say that it is conscious, that intelligence applies within it, that it is near and non-intermittent. Relative to our care for objectivities it is marginal, an anamorphic squiggle at the edge of awareness, but in fact it is the only thing that in any sense could be real, is the only place where anything is happening, if indeed anything is happening at all.
