What reigns here is going beyond ourselves into what raises us above ourselves. Questioning is becoming free for what is compelling, though sheltered.
[...] the invisible circle which encircles those who in questioning receive the hint of be-ing as a response.
[...] if this questioning is to prepare the beginning of another history, then the enactment of this questioning must be originary (ursprünglich).
History emerges only in the immediate skip of what is "historical" [das Historisch].
The questioning concerning the "meaning" [of being], i.e., in accordance with the elucidation in Being and Time, the question concerning grounding the domain of projecting-open - and then, the question of the truth of be-ing - is and remain my question, and is my one and only question [...]
The task: to restore (die Wiederbringung) beings from within the truth of be-ing.
What is most question-worthy: the "meaning of being".
The one who seeks be-ing, [...], is the poet who "founds" (stiftet) be-ing. The verb "stiften" has also the meaning of "giving", "offering as a gift".
«Je n'ai qu'une passion: celle qui me permet d'être libre sous le joug, content dans la peine, riche dans la nécessité et vivant dans la mort.» Giordano Bruno

Reading Group (week 1), "Contributions to Philosophy": Analysis, section 1
The questioning in Contributions to Philosophy follows a pathway traced out by the crossing to the other beginning, into which Western thinking is now entering. The crossing is perhaps a very long sojourn, according to Heidegger. The other beginning of thinking is only for now an intimation.
The Contributions to Philosophy are not yet able to join the free jointure (opposite of system) of the truth of be-ing out of be-ing itself. Essential sway: Wesen. Essential swaying: Wesung (verbal sense: essencing). Enquivering: Erzitterung, a word used later to "define" Being. This enquivering will determine the jointure of the work of thinking. This enquivering grows stronger, becoming the power of a gentle release into the intimacy (Innigkeit) to the godding (Götterung) of the god of gods[...] We must attempt the thinking-saying (denkerische Sagen) of philosophy which comes from an other beginning. This saying is special, as according to Heidegger it doesn't describe or explain, proclaim or teach; rather the saying itself is the "to be said". [Sounding, Echo] = Anklang, has to be brought closer to Erzitterung [enquivering], both referring to vibration and sound (as opposed to vision (eidos, Idea): Plato).
Hint (Winkes), see note on Wink and winken in Unterwegs zur Sprache, the discussion with the Japanese: winken is saying something without words, like to give somebody a "wink"; it is important to forget the word as sign, to focus the attention to what is brought to the fore, what is shown, i.e. forget the word and grasp the idea (Tchouang-tseu). What is most question-worty (Fragwürdigsten): Being.
The time of "systems" is over. Re-building the essential shaping of beings according to the truth of be-ing [...] The (crucial) task of philosophy in the crossing: projecting-open, i.e., the grounding enopening of the free-play of the time-space of the truth of be-ing (!). A difficult phrase indeed! The german look simpler: den Entwurf, d. h. die gründende Eröffnung des Zeit-Spiel-Raumes der Wahrheit des Seynes. This phrase is very important and we will come back on it later. Heidegger is just adding that we have no indication how this task is to be done.
Thinking in the crossing accomplishes the grounding projecting-open (gründenden Eröffnung) of the truth of be-ing as historical mindfulness. History (Geschichte) is that which first awakens and effects thinking-questioning (as the site of its decisions). Thinking, links with "thank" and "remember": thinking-questioning is a "remembering"-questioning, a "thankful"-questioning. Mindfulness: Besinnung, a reflection different from the one in science, reflecting on its own standpoint; an originary way of awareness.
Thinking in the crossing = dialogue. In that dialogue brings to word the essential sway of be-ing, which has remained unquestioned until now. The outline of the Contributions is designed to prepare for the crossing (Heidegger).
