This unbounded particularity is lived through the soul as the pathos of the gaze. To be picked out, chosen by a pair of eyes produces a deep quivering. This was noticed especially in childhood when you first came in contact with other children. After that one learns that there is a contingency to such an event, that it can be used lightly or cruelly, and from there a never ending dialectic arises, since the original experience is never completely erased. You can experience the world as a way of Being ot the Infinite gazing back at you, and you can turn it around so that it becomes a self-enclosed intimacy where it is your sole gaze that caresses the world. And you can recognise or seem to recognise that gaze in another and seek to be embraced in it. This infinite particularity is transcendental to the soul and so while it can never be resolved it gives rise to endlessly changeing wonders, discoveries and acknowledgements.
