And, even more importantly: Man is formed in his mother womb; and only out of the darkness of unreason (out of feeling, out of longing, the sublime mother of understanding) grow clear thoughts. (35)

Thus, in his commentary on Schelling’s discussion, Heidegger notices the meaning of this breath and through the name of love equates it with the Holy Spirit. However, is Heidegger interested in this name of love, presentiment and desire related to the original breath of life as a name and not just as a variant of being? If we parenthesise the question of the explanation of evil and its relation to the ontological (in)difference of being, we are confronted—in a time critical to Heidegger’s future philosophy—with the question of whether Heidegger does not still, in following the path of Heraclitus’ legacy of lógos, remain on the level of the first feature of thinking, i.e., its presence (light, clarity), thereby withholding its first source (Ursprung)? In any case, we are no longer discussing an empirical body and a spiritual transcendental source, but, rather, in Schelling’s more original words, the possibility of a first body, which could uncover the future name of the human being—the first and delicate (transparent) body-breath/spirit (foetus?) as a prototype of being and love, when: The whole is thus a spiritual-corporeal essence and, even at this early stage, the spiritual and the corporeal find themselves to be the two sides of one and same existence. (Schelling 1997, 285)
