As the self reflects on the past narratives of its own life in the present moment, the process of change can be seen as taking place incrementally. Is it not apparent that the future is taking hold of the present?
The self can create in its being, the diversity of modes that it can Will dependent on the characteristics of its phenomena (i.e. the enviornment that molds the self in the present). Life is found between the spectrum of "will-to-be" and the "will-to-survive". The "will-to-be" is described inwardly as philosophical reflection as a meditation to bring the ideal self, the telos as an authentic character, onto the phenomenal appearance as projection. Outwardly, the "will-to-be" observes the phenomena without motion, as it reveals itself as a being viewing the particularities in the multiplicity of life existing as individual expression of its individual will in the totality of the encompassing All. This is only one mode on one end of the spectrum that can be contrasted with the mode of "will-to-survive". This contrasting mode is a pure will that makes itself known as a being striving to survive in the continuum of life-nature. The self in this mode has little to no room for philosophical reflection, and can be described as the is-ness of its being reflected in the actions of preforming the task at hand for survival. Both modes are expressed during the rhythmic cycle we call "day".
What persists through this spectrum of change is the expression of the artist represented as "life-living" in authenticity!
