The objective field is structured by certain impassable divisions which go deeper than the merely phenomenal. This does not, however, prove that there are corresponding metaphysical divisions, since 'being more than phenomenal' falls far short of the noumenal. You might say that the phenomenal plane is itself only phenomenal. To think of experience in phenomenal terms is an act of the imagination, and only adds a certain screen over experience in its most general sense. Every distinction in the mode of objective experience has as its correlate a certain way of limiting the subjective. In reflection the subjective only emerges by 'staining' experience with certain kinds of contingent even if effectively incorrigible distinctions, distinctions bathed in pathos. The subject is full transparency, but since it is never experienced as such, it only comes out as that it ought to be, or is the desire for such transparency. It seems necessary to displace it into the future, but that can't be true as time is only one of the modes of distinction. The transparency is perfect presence, is here and now, complete, and the idea that it is lost or in need of realisation via some process, is the just a stubborn misrecognition.
