No no, its like Logos is grounded on his secret meaning and that's sigetics
in Heidegger's _Contributions_. The last god ends up being something he
forgets and simply ignores in his they-academic version of the intellectual
history of ideas; and that is Sige -- the Goddess of silence. In section
five called "For the Few and the Rare" he says that the essential swaying of
the unknown, in its self-sheltering that is "assigned to us lets the will be
in solitude [i.e. the abandonement of Dasein and beings in the jilting or
withdrawal of the last 'god'] and thus forces Da-sein to be steadfast by way
of the utmost reservedness over against the self-sheltering. The nearness to
the last god is silence. This silence must be set into work and word in the
style of reservedness."  The call of mommy requires a grounding-attunement
and this "attunes  Da-sein and thus attunes _thinking_ as projecting-open
the truth of be-ing in word and concept" ( H21-22).Expression is the
"spraying-forth of the enquievering of be-ing as enowing in Da-sein.
Spraying forth: not a mere disappearing and extinguishing, but the
opposite -- as preserving the sparks, in the sense of the clearing of the
"t/here" [Da] in accord with the cleavage of be-ing" (H21-22). The cleavage
of be-ing releases a gentle spray, a casting of words in the furrows of a
solitary field where as seeds they can mature into roses without a why...
[cf. The Principle of Reason].
