I use the term 'moment' to mean 'all nature at an instant.' A moment, in the sense here used, has no temporal extension, and is in this respect to be contrasted with a duration which has such extension. What is directly yielded to our knowledge by sense-awareness is a duration. A moment is a limit to which we approach as we confine attention to durations of minimum extension. In this instance attention is confined to durations extending a single second. (The word 'limit' has a precise signification in the logic of number and even in the logic of non-numerical one-dimensional series. As used here it is so far a mere metaphor, and it is necessary to explain directly the concept which it is meant to indicate.)

You need not dogmatically preach materialist ideology. I know that on the materialistic theory the instantaneous present is the only field for the creative activity of nature. The past is gone and the future is not yet. Thus (on the materialistic theory) the immediacy of perception is of an instantaneous present, and this unique present is the outcome of the past and the promise of the future. But we deny this immediately given instantaneous present, it is already gone. There is no such thing to be found in nature. As an ultimate fact it is a nonentity. What is immediate for sense-awareness is a duration.

I welcome teaching or critique of my position; I may be mistaken, but I'm fairly sure of your rational and find it deeply lacking.

I took on.destitution and poverty for the sake of all God's creation, till the ego in service-to-self died and was reborn in service-to-others. Love and compassion is all I exist for. I take none of my person seriously, only my work.

>We can know nothing in the traditional sense of knowing as truth or fact, but anything if we can say it. For "knowledge" is produced by that part of us which thinks and formulates in symbols, and the truth of the real is that this thing of knowing and speaking happens in us, which means that it is not a question of what we can know but of the fact that this knowing in us is an imperative. As a universal we can know nothing, but each one of us can and must know what it is that affects us: that is, we must be able to navigate the constant human movement whereby we are fated to translate the reality of our body, our soul, our desire, our drive, into a story which will satisfy our thought. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i7RTEqTAyy8C6THiaCzjDjVPsvIN7YKN/view
