An Illustration of the Model : AWM
(see my apologies for the post at mary.panttaja.com)
Let’s assume this orange cylinder represents the moment—that “now” when
everything is actually happening, when it is not the future nor the past, but actually going on. It’s impossible to “represent” the moment actually—it would take the universe! But let’s pretend that this silly orange cylinder represents the time/place/moment when the potential becomes the actual. It would have to go on infinitely in all directions, of course. (Notice that it is not really a “time”, a “place”, or a “moment” precisely.)
The yellow cloud represents the potential—the sum of possibilities and preponderances. The blue cloud the actual—that which came into being. Notice the ambiguous edge between what is actual and what is potential.

The potentials arrive in/at/with the moment as they transform into the actual world.

The actualities, the world as we know it, arise in the moment—the
same moment.

Actions, which also always happen in the moment, generate new potentials.

Everything is happening in the moment where we at once experience what is
happening and act to create potential for the future. It is called the Arising World for it is ever arising from the potential. This movement of arising is what we call the updraft; it represents the potential that is arising into actual. That’s the movement and power we capture when we are updrafting.
