If there is a necessary connection between consciousness and being it does not follow that there is a necessary connection between consciousness and you. But what about the connection between consciousness and someone? Oddly, you can think of 'your consciousness', as if it were something you came to possess, a troublesome gift perhaps, more easily than you can regard yourself as belonging to consciousness, as if you were its disposable and replaceable vehicle. Perhaps it is correct to have an intimation of something that precedes consciousness, but it is also the case that whenever in the course of things you are more or less consumed or partially annihilated the result is always unproblematically positive, an unencumbering without mystery or drama. But you can never-endingly manufacture mysteries and dramas to prevent such a thing from happening or even being imagined.
