All of your experience no matter what it consists of, and whether it is connected or disassociated into substreams, is carried in the same current, the presence here and now which is too close to be qualified in any way. Before you are aware of anything else however you are aware that there are many such currents deeply interactive in terms of what is carried but completely separate as hyletic currents. As bodies are discrete and separate so are minds. This is analogous to the ontological difference, the being of beings is the content and Being, that which primordially gives is the current. The problem is that at the level as which you are intuitively aware of the identity of the current you have no awareness of difference, even though you require an awareness of difference in order to turn towards the current. Or you could say that difference is a correlative of the being of beings and cannot be used to open the ontological difference. It seems as though such ontic difference is not powerful enough, but in thinking so you underestimate it; it is not the difference needed to make a world of objects but the difference that underlies the world of other subjects.
