I am desperately trying to wrap my mind around the relation of all the terms. If “swimming around in the head” was a witty phrase I was confident in, I think this case would serve an appropriate use. Now let’s get down to business-- notice my disclaimer: everything I’m about to say is probably wrong, so don’t take my word for it. Maybe, if I’m lucky, a small glimmer of truth will be found in my struggle.
From my understanding, the Being of being is not God, as some might automatically think, it is rather a center, of sorts. Being is the abstract part of beings that is central to them. Venture is similar to what people call the essence of life or destiny. It is described as a flinging, a daring. Accordingly, when you are being you are venturing. This is the relation between venturing and being. Venture draws being into itself. Life (destiny) draws life (existence) into itself. Picture it as a flower with petals. The petals are the circles that represent being, whereas the venture is the center part of the flower, drawing all of its petals to the center. Unfortunately that’s all I can say right now. I’m working out some more in my mind but I couldn’t possibly explain it in writing. Maybe I’ll save it for the paper or for the next blog. Yay! Goodnight all!
P.S. I commented on Alternate Heidegger, Megan's Post
