occasions in the living person.

God, consequently, is but one of a number of prehended data available to a concrescing occasion and is present within such
occasions in living persons in generally the same way in which all other prehended data are present.
Indeed, it outranks the possibilities received through all the other routes of inheritance in at least two respects: (1) the particular region to be inhabited by a newly concrescing
occasion in a living person and the sort of satisfaction at which it is aimed initially are granted exclusively through the route of inheritance from God (CNT 153f.
Elsewhere Cobb is careful to specify that both God and man are best characterized as living persons consisting respectively of societies of actual occasions (CNT 188, 192).1 In the present context, consequently, it is clear that we are to understand God to be present in man in the same manner in which one actual occasion is present within another and that this presence concerns the aims at the fulfillment of a concrescing
occasion in a living person by the occasions or «prehended data» in its past.
We have seen that there are two conflicting aims at the fulfillment of a concrescing
occasion in a living person.
In the case of a newly concrescing actual
occasion in a living person the aims at its fulfillment from occasions in its past are received through four possible routes of inheritance: (1) from occasions residing in the same living person; (2) from occasions residing in some other living person; (3) from occasions residing in the same body in which it presently is the predominant or chief participant; and (4) from God's special aims for that occasion (CNT 234).
The ideal aim which he entertains for the initial aim of each actual
occasion in a living person accounts for the varying determination of his initiative or presence from person to person, and it is always uniquely tailored to the most relevant possibilities at work within the life situation of each individual person (CNT 154; PPCT 388).
The initial aim of subsequent
occasions in the living person will be affected in part by the way in which earlier occasions have modified their aims, but it includes also an element of autonomy.
