On the contrary, we can now envision all trees as
analogical actualities, as transcendent symbols that participate in the reality that they signify, as having likenesses to us despite their differences from us, and thus as linking natural things with both human and divine things — and perhaps also with things demonic.
What is at least
analogical in the scheme is the idea of prehension as dependence of an
actuality on other
actualities, or of participation, feeling of feeling, experience of experience, together with sense of futurity.
