this, also transitioning out of a "was".
>he's becoming a man
it means the potential of a 'man' contained within the 'boy' he was is being actualized

>> No.15376844

>>15376714
Defining is to trap becoming in being.
>>15376763
Likewise, the potential and the virtual are pure becomings, without being exhausted by the passing over into actuality.

>> No.15376849

>>15376823
Nothing is meaningless so long as it is part of the human condition, or further the condition of any life, but surely if change is a purely "life" thing, then what is that which is without change, ultimately? You are still thinking in an old Wagnerian sense of physis, when you must go back further than that, back into Kosmos, into Being. Not that Being is opposed to Becoming, but that Becoming is a temporal presence of which Being is present, and only because of Being(as if we could speak of non-being) does it be.

What is "unbecoming" is it possible to undo the process of becoming? Or is it simply to become something else? Is the opposite of "becoming" simply "hasbeen"?

Probably the latter, the identity or the distinction of a feature or a property is incumbent on the observer to both sense and classify it (even involuntarily) according to some symbology. But then again I still haven't got a firm grasp of just what in the heck a consciousness is other than it's related to concepts like "self" "sense" "sentience" and "qualia" and continuity of experiance.

Everyone who affirmed this are idiots.
Becoming is equal to Flux: Becoming doesn't actualize shit but rather perpetually DE-actualizes everythimg that is actively actualized by souls and the gods. Becoming is the fact that if you don't actively focus on a creation time (Saturn) will swallow it and destroy it. For matter has no power to sustain, it can only receive (and it receives perfectly since it is empty), thus Body has no power in itself to remain. But because the above eternally flows forth new Being, something always takes the place, and thus there's always becoming.

To then use Becoming as a synonym for actualization, is just secondary. In anagoge you don't become anything in the true sense, you in fact becoming less for your blinders and chains are lifted from you and so you "become" more coherent/less complex/less fragmented. More One.

some of the joy that i get from reading books not from my generation, is that i get to experience words from a new perspective, those words become me

to be attractive on; befit in appearance; look well on:
That gown becomes you.
to be suitable or necessary to the dignity, situation, or responsibility of:
conduct that becomes an officer.
