This philosophical reflection explores the concept of reality as a process of actualization. The author argues that reality should not be viewed solely as the present moment but must consciously include the past and the potential future. The text identifies four central problems: the fundamental importance of the 'hic et nunc' (here and now) for active realization; the ontological transition from the non-real ('not yet') to the real ('already'); the reverse process where the actualized fades back into non-reality or is forgotten so radically that it seems never to have occurred; and finally, the persistent influence of that which has passed. The author questions how something that no longer exists can still possess meaning or exert power over the present. The text suggests that continuity is achieved through new actions building upon the old, although the mechanism of connecting to a non-existent past remains a profound philosophical uncertainty. The abstract highlights the dynamic and temporal nature of being beyond static definitions of existence.
