Thanks Cameron,

Only the caveat has to be added: (Heidegger's) thinking cannot be
methodologized. Methodology in the sense of general rules for gaining
knowledge is only possible within the Cartesian casting of being (cf.
Descartes'  _Regulae_).

Thinking is following a singular path in thought and seeing what one can see.
Being itself is the most singular and unique of all phenomena.
