The visible actuality of the material world exists simultaneously with its invisible immaterial psychological potentiality. It is a given that the virtual potential of a seed and a plant’s actuality, or an animal’s, or a person’s, appears to follow in a sequence from its virtual potential. But in reality they exists at the same time. This is often overlooked because we confuse being with time, and space with distance. Being is both and neither. It is the consciousness from which all differentiation arises as being is divided into two modes.
Everything in our world mirrors a form from this eternal psychological presence of immaterial experience since its potential is what is hidden beneath the facts, theories and imagination of our present consciousness.
Being is where we try to hold it in symbolic integration.
