Chapter 39 B．enlightenment

The unique object with which pure insight deals with the force of concepts is belief, that is to say, the pure form of consciousness which is in the same element as pure insight but is opposed to it.But at the same time, pure insight also has a relationship with the real world, because it, like belief, returns from the real world to pure consciousness.We should first see how the activity of pure perception against the mixed intentions and perverted perceptions of the real world is constituted. We have mentioned above the quiet consciousness as opposed to this whirlwind which dissolves itself and regenerates itself in itself; it is this quiet consciousness which constitutes the aspect of pure perception and pure intention.This quiet consciousness, as we have seen before, does not contain any special insight about the civilized world; rather, the special insight about the civilized world contains in itself the most painful emotions and the most real insights about itself, among which That is why there is the most painful emotion, because it feels that all that it strives to strengthen is disintegrated, all the links on which it exists are trampled, and all the bones are smashed to pieces; , because it is again the language for expressing this emotion and the spiritual (witty) discourse for commenting on its overall situation.Therefore, pure insight cannot have its own activity and content here, and the only attitude it can adopt is a form of faithful apprehension of this witty unique insight about the world and the language expressing this insight. or understand.Because this kind of language is some sporadic and disorganized expressions, and the conclusions are also empty talk that is temporarily felt and forgotten in a flash. To form a comprehensive whole, it depends on a third consciousness, so this third consciousness must mark itself as pure insight. It can only be this: it gathers the above-mentioned scattered signs into a complete picture, and then composes them into a comprehensive insight②.Through this simple means, pure insight will clear up the chaos in this world.Because, as you have seen, neither groups, specific concepts, nor individualities are the essence of this reality, but the fact is that this reality exists only as judgments and discussions. The spirit of the mind as its substance and basis, and, entirely out of an interest in finding a content for this inference and phrasing, preserves the whole and the groups of which it is composed.In this language [adopted] by insight, the self-consciousness of insight considers itself a thing-for-itself, the individual; but the falsity of the content is at the same time the falsity of the self that knows the falsity of the content.Now, since the consciousness that quietly grasps or comprehends this whole whole of spiritual, witty, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The falsity of the spiritual, intelligent judgment of the soul which still preserves the whole, shatters the falsity of all the rest that actually exists.This compilation points to most a better wit, or at least it points to all a more elaborate banter or wit than their own; it points to them a better knowledge and assertions in general are something universal, and therefore well-known and recognized: thus the sole interest which had remained at first is removed, and individual opinions dissolve into general insights.
