as (transcendental) conditions of any possible

actual events that have the power to reconstruct categories in the passage of the events.

experience; (3) no other Christian artist or seer has so fully directed his vision to history and
experience; (4) to this day his is the only Christian vision that has openly or consistently accepted a totally fallen time and space
as the paradoxical presence of eternity; (5) he stands alone among Christian artists in identifying the
actual passion of sex
as the most immediate epiphany of either a demonic or a redemptive «Energy,» just
as he is the only Christian visionary who has envisioned the universal role of the female
as both a redemptive and a destructive power; (6) his is the only Christian vision of the total kenotic movement of God or the Godhead; (7) he was the first Christian «atheist,» the first to unveil God
as Satan; (8) he is the most Christocentric of Christian seers and artists; (9) only Blake has created a Christian vision of the full identity of Jesus with the individual human being (the «minute particular»); and (10)

experience» (WPP 65).

Although Whitehead's Category of the Ultimate is meant to lessen the distance, so to speak, between
actual occasions and societies of
actual occasions, the application of Whitehead's metaphysics to persons seems troublesome; the ancient metaphysical problem of appearance and reality seems to lurk in the background, for the philosopher who wishes to identify res vera in the system soon finds herself perplexed, asking if the subjects of
experience are
actual occasions, societies of occasions, or sentient beings, such
as persons and animals.1
Starting with my
actual experience, which is the datum self, I am led to distinguish between... hypothetical entities which were once or which may become my

In fact, in spite of his insisting that most
actual occasions are unconscious (and that there is much that is unconscious even in that series of
actual occasions which constitute our successive mental states), his talk of their
experience or feeling of themselves, the influence of their predecessors, and their subjective immediacy seems pointless unless each of them is supposed to feel its own being, in some genuine sense, however dimly, so that there is a truth
as to what - it - is - like - being - it.
For example, against both dualism and reductionistic determinism and in favor of the pancreationist, panexperientialist view that the
actual world is made up exhaustively of partially self - determining,
experiencing events, there is considerable evidence, such
as the fact that a lack of complete determinism seems to hold even at the most elementary level of nature; that bacteria seem to make decisions based upon memory; that there appears to be no place to draw an absolute line between living and nonliving things, and between
experiencing and nonexperiencing ones; and that physics shows nature to be most fundamentally a complex of events (not of enduring substances).
