The unit experiencing self, such as it may be, neither existing or not existing, is of a piece with the world it deals in, with time and space and present things and relevant matters. This is almost true, in other ways it is the problem child of this world order, beyond pacifying with soul or spirit. There is something else, experience-like but not in time and space, which precedes this order and its subjects, but in a distinctive and untranslatable kind of precedence. There are primeval forms involved in this relation which are both knowing and known, and art in some of its outer reaches comes close to pointing them out. It is not obvious that there are stark differences of depth involved in this field, at least not until you have already seen them.
