And when we do perceive the wholeness of the present in its very presence - this is not at all to suggest that we regularly do so; all we have to do is consider when the last time was that we felt we had truly understood everything that could be known about this or that aspect of our existence or the world at large - we ourselves are enlarged, for a corresponding moment, in our consciousness. We know what it means to know something. We understand understanding, we apprehend apprehension. And this in turn does not rest within a subjective epistemology of motive or design. This is not a question of 'how we know what we know' because the 'what' in every such case remains unquestioned in itself. No, this is the 'thing in itself' that is understood and made conscious, insofar as it can be. In this case, what we apprehend and thence in turn what takes us in, is the very character of the present as both an experience and a time of one's life, an historical period. The present is that which at once begins and transgresses. (from the book)
