Time Is Not Being
Time follows Being, time defines the existence of Being, time is not Being, as Heidegger seems to suggest in “Being and Time,” (“Heidegger and Aquinas” Caputo). Time is not an object, but Being is a highly evolved object.
Thinking of time as Being is like thinking of God as beyond the object, beyond materialism, even beyond supermaterialism. This is making an idol of denotation and definition.
“Being” doesn't mean unchanging “permanence,” Godhood Itself transforms into a new Godhood, the old cosmos continues to be activated by the evolutionary Will To Godhood, or Spirit, until it has reached its final goal of Godhood.
Being does not “stand outside” of existence, even speech and thought are part of Being, as the mind is part of the body.
If Heidegger is right that Scholasticism thought of Being in terms of “producing” and “actuality” then I can agree with Scholasticism in the view of Being just described, which is not exactly the same.
