This document presents a collection of philosophical reflections centered on the dynamics of existence, action, and the present moment. The core of the text challenges the traditional metaphysical maxim 'operari sequitur esse' (action follows being), arguing instead that being cannot truly exist without the active performance of its existence. According to the author, being is not a static state but a continuous 'opus' or work; therefore, acting is an inherent and necessary part of being itself. This ontological exploration is framed by citations from Aldous Huxley and Plotinus. Huxley’s quote emphasizes the necessity of letting go of past and future moments to fully inhabit the present, while the Plotinian fragment highlights how a virtuous soul finds peace by focusing on the contemplation of the eternal present, thereby forgetting transient concerns. Together, these notes suggest a philosophy of active presence where existence is defined by its immediate enactment rather than a preceding essence. The text invites a reconsideration of how we perceive the continuity of the self and the nature of ontological reality through the dynamic interplay of activity and being.
