Andrew, Tim-Worship

[Guest guest]

Hi Tim and Andrew --

Where is the definable

continuing entity that

compares where it was

to what it is "becoming" ... ?

Where is the separation

of being that allows an ongoing

existence to move through time

with a permanent nature of

some kind.

If no "for sure real entity", then

"becoming" can only be conceptual, only

be meaningful to whatever extent that

memory-based temporal comparisons

and the associated projected future

are meaningful.

Can "mind" compare a really existing

past with a for-sure future?

If not, "becoming" is purely conceptual,

without "real" grounding ...

The becoming process seems only relevant

in conventional conceptual dialogues

("I am going to school to become a doctor")

less relevant in highly abstract and

speculative dialogues ("I am becoming a

better person" or "I am becoming more

aware") and fruitless for

"inquiry into/as 'reality'" ...

Reality becoming more real,

Dan

Is there something to become (something else)?

i'm certainly not knocking the idea of 'process', since events can be

observed to happen 'in succession' (although that requires the use of

memory) -- but is there some "end goal" to this

"endless" appearance

of process?

Love,
