10 | I. The Incipience of Inception
The simplicity of the appropriative event does not permit its being thought otherwise than from out of itself, its essence thought inceptively every time.
The event is the differentiation of the appropriative event over against that which can arise into manifestation in what is eventuated—over against beings.
But this separative differentiation happens eventally as inception.
And inception is not the inception of something other than what it itself is; equally, inception is not the inception of itself, as if what were being thought of were a producing and causing.
Just as essentially as event, inception is the essential plenitude of its own simpleness.
Inception is the taking-into-itself of the parting.
Inception is concealment, whose unconcealment must be what is primary— emergence amid the still more complete veiling of the essence of being-there.
Inception and event are in a simplicity of essence with unconcealment and concealment, and that means with truth.
The “truth” is of beyng.
Only in advancing away from the inception toward metaphysics does “truth” then become “in intellectu” and “in re,” at the same time “logical” and “ontological.” But in this way, the essence of truth is not inceptive.
On the other hand, truth is not the “generalizing” of truths; it is itself the first and unique truth.
We are capable of thinking the keenness of the simplicity of the oneness of beyng in its essence as event and inception only when we really “think,” which means: when we can risk the leap into the nothing because we are, in our essence, eventuated appropriatively by beyng itself. {GA 70: 19}
The first clarity on the long journey of the “question of being” has been achieved. The knowledge, in which this questionability resides, holds that “beyng” is essentially no longer what is to be inceptively inquired after.
Not that the question could be replaced; nor that the question of being should be broken apart. Being remains, always, what is said; however, the essence of beyng is not beyng, but is rather the incepting inception. From this, and as this, beyng incepts (and that means also recedes) into its proper domain. Here,
