Item 272

Jotting on an envelope that dropped from an unidentified book

A real (enduring and sensible existing) bullet or a transitory passing event?

Which is the more real? Is it the “existing” bullet, or the transitory — passing — event? Is it the bullet or is it the process, the proceeding, the event. Which is the “reality actually encountered” — (experienced)? Is there any actual “reality” apart from happenings or events? Is not the “encounter” itself an event, an action rather than a being? Is not all action objective, physical; all being subjective, meta-physical?

*Yes, but in order that it shall possess relevant and meaningful reality for this objective physical world of action all its postulates must rest on what the senses report concerning the composition of concrete physical actions or events.
