1095. The passage through the horizon that every "experience" must undergo in order to become complete or perfect, which in turn means in order to become a "cosmic analysis" is exactly the same, albeit in a micro-form, as that which every "living being" must undergo in order to attain perfection. An "experience", which in turn means a "thought" or "idea" is thus not perfect until it represents the five outer stages of the spiral cycle, the stages of instinct, gravity, feeling, intelligence and intuition, thereafter disappearing in the sixth and inner stage of the same spiral, the stage of memory. We must therefore define the various sorts of thoughts according to the stage they represent in the spiral cycle, this stage forming the basis for their "indication of place" in the range of sensory perception of the being in question. Every single thought on its journey through the cycle must thus represent the same stages as the "living beings" do in the same cycle. The "thoughts" can therefore be expressed as "thoughts of instinct, gravity, feeling, intelligence, intuition and memory", just as the "living beings" can be expressed as "beings of instinct, gravity, feeling" and so on. "Thoughts" thus represent stages of evolution in precisely the same way as "living beings" do.
