Existing situation
Something happening
Event location progress
Approaching an unfamiliar happening, an initial observant response expeditiously assesses the phenomenon and treats the incident analytically. When pursuing such a hitherto unknown predicament, remain alert and attentive.
“Qualitative differences exist everywhere in nature.” – Henri Bergson
Excitement dwells
Between the lines
Everything rhymes
While moving into the descending night, a super sense-perceptual mode of experience may accompany appearances as impressions accrue over time.
“By using these forms to gain a knowledge of our own person, we run the risk of mistaking for the coloring of the self the reflection of the frame in which we place it.” – Henri Bergson
Conceivability fields
Immediately available
Fanciful speculations
Across the green fields and into the twilight, the fleeting present coincides in the fluidity of inner life. In an uninterrupted transition, the continuation of what precedes folds into what follows as succession without separation in conscious duration.
“It is memory, but not personal memory, external to what it retains, distinct from a past whose preservation it assures; it is a memory within change itself, a memory that prolongs the before into the after, keeping them from being mere snapshots appearing and disappearing in a present ceaselessly reborn.” – Henri Bergson
Light shining
Connected soul
Ethereal substances
Night falls on the Sanger estate, but things remain bright.
“The moon is a loyal companion.” – Tahereh Mafi
Analytic practice
Certain coherence
Temporal pulsation
We experience the exterior world as personally entangled within our own nature. Unconsciously vibrant sensations become part of a complex self-identity unity.
“Expression is the diffusion, in the environment, of something initially entertained in the experience of the expressor.” – Alfred North Whitehead
Particular conclusion
Appropriate evidence
Exhibit a common pattern
Driving through the Louisiana night and into the future, physical objects manifest as physical objects, thought transpires as thought, and the past is behind.
“Our experiences themselves are neither certain nor uncertain; they simply occur.” – A. J. Ayer
Internal states
Separate whole
Instantly older
Driving into an illumination transition, the state of contiguous existence is nothing but change. By tracing the apparent discontinuity of psychical life as acts of attention, through intentionality we perceive discrete stages.
“A slight effort of attention would reveal to me that there is no feeling, no idea, no volition which is not undergoing change every moment: if a mental state ceased to vary, its duration would cease to flow.” – Henri Bergson
Overall sympathy
External contingencies
Unbounded reserve
The reality and ultimacy of nature approached from an idealistic perspective builds upon a model of human freedom. Part of the puzzle centers on the praxis of creative intuition as a function of action. In such productive matters, nature functions as both the ground and antithesis of spirit. Within the empirical objects of perception there exists an inexhaustible reservoir of enigmatic potential.
“An intelligent being bears within himself the means to transcend his own nature.” – Henri Bergson
Conditioned by form
Consciously productive
Mediating factor
An intuitively obvious idea is that truth must match reality to be true. Of course, reality is a huge indeterminate field of inexhaustible existence, rendering any possible correspondence fragmentary and incomplete.
“It is better to be vaguely right than to be precisely wrong.” – Walter Terence Stace
Following light phases
Factors that influence
Heightened activity
Riding shotgun around Alexandria Louisiana during the ‘blue hour’ is a rich cinematic excursion. The series lies in space as a function of duration.
“In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line.” – Henry David Thoreau
