The idea of a subject is the idea of a point, like the vanishing point in a perspective, say the single point from which all vectors of intentionality originate. There may be some value in this idea for local engagements, but it provides no picture of what consciousness is like. Intentionality does not have the functional transparency that it has by virtue of intentionality. The transparency is prior to intentionality and is as such only through itself, its being and being conscious are not separate and it provides the priority which makes formations of objectivations able to arise. To name it consciousness is a stretching of the term, but there is no other, so call it a spatial consciousness, where space alludes to equal containment, to embracing, of all possibilities and differences, including time. You feel it as yourself, spread-out, ever-present, not needing to be thought or questioned, and staggeringly obvious, obviousness itself, the exact opposite of the idea that anything could stand in its way. You can live a whole life and never notice it because it is closer than anything you have ever thought or seen.
