Everything is saturated with meanings and yet if there was not some pure sensory element or auto-affective quale prior to meaning then the whole edifice would implode - or so it seems to insist. That there is something direct and prior to meaning is an essential part of the meaning of meaning - to do its work for meaning this directness must already belong to meaning, which implies that there are two kinds of meaning, a positive meaning which is oriented towards coincidence with itself and negative or anti-meaning which is oriented towards the abolition of itself. It seems that these two apparently opposed trajectories of mind support each other in creating the world of your habitation. Naked conception is as impossible as naked perception, but it is the relation of the two which is unnameable. Or what if you allow them to devour each other so that nothing is left - and then look and say what you see!
