I don’t know if this is helpful to you, but it continues my Heidegger flow.
“Unconcealment and concealment, therefore, are fundamental characteristics of this transmetaphysical ground, and the problem with metaphysics is not only that it has failed to deal with unconcealment, but that it has dismissed the problem of concealment entirely. As Heidegger explains, "metaphysics never pays attention to what has concealed itself in this very on [beings] insofar as it has been unconcealed."
Nonbeing, however, is not necessarily negativity as such and cannot be equated with negation or negativity in the finite sense. Nonbeing, because of its ontological status, is prior to negativity. As Heidegger maintains, "Nothing is more original than the 'not' and 'negation.'" Nonbeing cannot be thought of as negativity in the finite sense because, though it certainly is the concealment of Being, it never negates Being. Being can never be negated, only concealed; for Being, even in its concealment, always "is." This is why Heidegger, in his discussion of Nonbeing, does not refer to it as the negation of Being but only as the "veil" of Being. The very nature of Being, then, is one of self-concealment. It gives birth to beings -- in the sense that it is the source of beings -- but in giving birth, it does not itself become a being.”
