The Becoming, which is space in metamorphosis, does not vanish from reality because reality is also made of Beingness, which is the sum of all geometries concocted by space (i.e. the past). What reality does in its domain of Becoming cannot be undone. What happens, happens for good. Therefore, the past exists and is disengaged from space, its creator. Becoming and Being are the facets of reality, one space in full action; the other is spaceless in expectation.

[Entry #61 - Reality Creates Its Own Past]


We seem to agree that reality is in space. We could agree that reality belongs to space. I say reality is space and only space. The preoccupation of reality-space is to shape and reshape itself (the Becoming), but that is only half of it; the Becoming (space in metamorphosis) pours itself ceaselessly into Being, the spaceless past.
