The drive for existence for recognition is historical and social, as is originality or status; in the past it might have been for righteousness or justification. In whatever form it takes these drives point to a kind of core of the self as what it is that is weighed or measured, as the object of account. This point or spark is located within a spiritual continuum or collective soul or essence, and is only what you are as a stream of consciousness say within this larger flow. So, to be is to bring forth an enduring mark within this flow. Whatever appears within this flow, however, no matter how 'original it might be, belongs entirely to the flow. The most original moment does not carry the stamp of original being but only passes through such being which is ever-present, undifferentiated and utterly without need of proof or justification. What is saved is only an aspect of the stream and is saved only relative to that stream. What you as being 'are' is outside of that, necessarily neglected in its unfolding flowering.
