Your inheritances and personal history, your place in the stream of human becoming determines the type and scope of your possible realisations even though their meaning is grasped in relation to being in general. Your access to Being is only such as can be mediated by your being, your particularity down to its finest differences. How is this possible? It is as though each particular was already accounted for within the universal, as if the very distinction of particular and universal melts away. But you can't explain this without doing an injustice to one side or another, and that is almost always the particular.
