Michael,

But then what about the following passage in the introduction of GA45?
Heidegger has stated that the goal of philosophy is searching itself.
Real searching goes into that which is mostly hidden (das Verborgenste).
German p. 4:

"And what is more hidden than the ground of that immensity, that 
being (Seiendes) is, and not rather is not? What eludes us more 
than the Essencing of Beying (Wesen des Seyns), that is: of that [Beying],
which in all being, surrounding and sustaining us, all being, produced and
controlled,
is the nearest (das Naechste) and the most commonly used (das Abgegriffenste)
and still the not seizable (das Ungreifliche)?

Beying: at the same time seized daily and still not seizable.

The head of section 35, p. 151:

"Die Not des Nicht-aus-und-nicht-ein-Wissens als eine Art des Seyns.
Der unbetretene Zeit-Raum des Zwischen.

The need/distress of knowing-not-out-and-not-in as a kind of Beying.
The untrodden time-space of the Between.

And this, p. 152:

Not- knowing-OUT and not-knowing-IN(to): out of THAT and INTO that,
which opens itself only through (durch) this knowing as this untrodden
and ungrounded "space". This space (time-space) - when we may say so -
is that Between (Zwischen), in which still isn't decided (bestimmt), what is
being and unbeing (unseiend) ...  

1. Opening seems more a closing in, so that there can be no escaping.
2. That which is opened, didn't 'exist' beforehand, 'is there' only in the
opening/closing.
3. The decision, what is and what is not, is a Be-stimmung (mood).
4. Mood (Seyn) is not subjective or objective, but 'between'.

regards,

Rene
