Sight, touch, smell, hear, taste.
My body's direct connection to reality.


Each sense perception formed many times, in different ways,
all united by an essence, and held by one word a new concept is born.

Concepts unite through deeper essences,
building upon the solid ground of my senses,
reaching ever upward giving wider vision.
If appearance deceives then the thing itself is not understood

If contradiction appears then deeper into my own misunderstanding
I must journey


Each strand of thought I unravel
until I can trace it back to its source
Guided by the ancient truths that are self-evident:


For all that is
Is.


To be is to be something.


A Thing is Itself and cannot be any other thing than what it is.


From these three truths, does man illuminate his universe.
