Earlier we had occasion to note the relationship between Jewish faith as portrayed for us in the Old Testament and the Christian event which is the subject matter of the New Testament; and how it was indeed inevitable and right that the primitive Christian community should see their Lord and apprehend his significance for men, against the background of the whole history of the people into whom humanly speaking he was born.

If for example the Christian Gospels are considered by themselves without any background of definite belief, or any authoritative norm of interpretation, all sorts of meanings can be put upon the bare words, the more so if the critic is ready and willing to make the early disciples of Christ neurotics, hysterics, or downright liars as the occasion may demand.

Earlier actual occasions are seen through the lens of later ones, and that lens might overly distort.

This reproduction of earlier occasions in later ones, I shall show, is what Whitehead meant by the objectification of the former in the latter.

To summarize, the mediatist accepts the following mirroring thesis: one simple physical feeling comes into being earlier than another simple physical feeling just in case the actual occasion felt by the former comes into being later than the actual occasion felt by the latter.15 (It is assumed that the two feelings are in one and the same process of concrescence.)

He was excited by Alasdair MacIntyre's early and enthusiastic review of The Eclipse of Biblical Narrative and later proud and pleased about a new generation of his students beginning in the early 1970s, theologians like Charles Wood and Ronald Thiemann — proud that they had learned from him, pleased that they were independent enough to disagree with him on occasion.

During the present (actual) occasion of my experience — the one that is (as I am writing this paper) presently coming into being through a process of concrescence — one of my intellectual feelings is presently coming into being through the integration of past feelings (i.e., ones that came into being earlier in that process of concrescence).

The fact that actual occasion A comes into being earlier than actual occasion B is an absolute fact: it holds for every observer (or frame of reference).4

By the repetition, or causal objectification, of an earlier occasion in a later one, let me hasten to add, Whitehead did not mean, as so many of his interpreters have erroneously taken him to mean, merely that some eternal object ingressed in the earlier occasion is also ingressed in the later occasion.

4 An actual occasion, however, is not completely self - realized; for part of its determinate character is given to it by the objectification of earlier occasions (PR 489).

More explicitly; the formal properties of the relation earlier that holds among actual occasions are these: it is irreflexive, asymmetric, and transitive; but it is not connected.

The earlier the actual occasion the later the feeling of it.

To reduce causal objectification, and thereby the immanence of the earlier in the later, to a mere repetition of eternal objects, is to make the repetition of occasions a sham repetition.

But as we understand Whitehead, the passage from the indeterminacy of the initial phases of concrescence, through the intermediate phases to the final phase, satisfaction, is a process which concretizes or actualizes the occasion itself, and the occasion is not actual until the process is complete.9 If so, the indeterminacy of the earlier phases of concrescence is a radical or absolute indeterminacy inconsistent with the passage of time, for there is nothing as yet actual for which time could pass; thus, concrescence is a process in a metaphorical or figurative sense, and this is why Whitehead associates concrescence with creativity, calling creativity the Category of the Ultimate, meaning that though it is used to explain all else, it is not explicable.

These statements give something of the flavor of this early theory: «the first stage of the process of feeling is the reception into the responsive conformity of feeling whereby the datum, which is mere potentiality, becomes the individualized basis for a complex unity of realization» (PR 113C).3 Or, later, «The objectified particular occasions together have the unity of a datum for the creative concrescence» (PR 210C).

As long as Whitehead had confidence in the adequacy of his early theory of prehension (in SMW), the datum theory of an occasion's unity held.
