Granting Being?

To answer Heidegger, “Time” is a secondary or unimportant condition which Godhood and everything else lives in---Time grants nothing. Time is not conscious, but beings can be conscious of time. Being and time do not belong together. Being is alive, time only marks the passage of beings if beings are conscious of time. Time is not “present” but Being and beings can be present in time. Time is nothing.

Godhood can utter the name of Itself as a Supreme Object, and Godhood can reproduce beings in the cosmos, and beings can then evolve as best they can to their own Godhood and Being. The event of “appropriation” or the “Ereignis”(see “Heidegger and Aquinas” by Caputo) relates to transmuting or reproducing. This is the “It” which “gives.”

Even the Spirit-Will does not grant Being when it activates both Being (Godhood) and lesser beings. The Spirit-Will has it's sacred goal of attaining Godhood by activating within the vehicle of material and supermaterial evolution toward Godhood. The Spirit-Will therefore seeks and does not grant. Godhood grants life only in the sense of some version of reproduction of beings within the cosmos.

The Spirit-Will “merely” activates beings and Being, but the Spirit-Will, which is material/supermaterial may possibly be eternal, so this is not a “merely” except in this context. Being, the Spirit-Will and beings are of the same evolving substance on a continuum of evolution, evolving through various cosmos.

This helps define Being in the Evolutionary Church when de-constructing Heidegger.
