To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It, the second mode, is all built upon the separation of the self from the knowledge and from the object (i. E. From other selves). It is therefore built upon an illusion, and is itself illusion. Its form is not true knowledge, but Thought. Thought is an aspect ; it is the last disintegration of knowledge. It is the fact seen from just one most particular and separate point of view. The (hidden) fact being the unity of my 'self with that of the tree, all my thought about the tree is an attempt ...to get at that fact from ever -shifting, ever - countless sides; but remains profitless, barren, productive of little but unrest and disappointment till the moment when the reintegration takes place, subject and object close in one, and the innumerable thoughts fusing in the intense heat of union lose their separateness, and merge in perfect light. Herbert Spencer touches this point with a kind of unwilling illumination when, speaking of the impossibility of knowing the "substance of Mind, " he says, 1 " A thing cannot at the same instant be both subject and object of Thought ; and yet the substance of Mind must be this before it can be known.
