You are here and now, right? Pure here-nness and now-ness. Here-being and now-being: Dasein und Jetztsein. But there is no here without reference to a there, you need to be there before you can be here. Hereness cannot be the centre of space without there being a space and the here-ness at some point in that space. It lands there and then is able to say 'here am I'. And it's not that the spatiality exists before you do, but the space and the time are co-original with you and the finding yourself to be here and now are a second moment, as it were, carved reflectively out of (generalised) there are then. So, enough of your puctiliousness. Call it spatialisation and temporalisation if you want, but the consciousness is spherical and thick before it can pre-tend to be presence of an 'I'.
