From the periphery of the range of sensory perception to its centre the "experience" or "thought" traverses its entire evolution from "inkling" to "fact"
1098. Real or "absolute truth" is thus the same as a "thought" that has passed through all six stages of the cycle.
And having acquired this knowledge we will now return to the "principle of perspective".
According to this, each range of sensory perception has a "periphery" and a "centre", the latter forming the basis for sensory perception or the "experience" of the details of the range of sensory perception. We have abundant knowledge of how sensory perception of the details of this range is most perfect and clearest in the centre, and emerges there as "realistic fact", while in the outermost periphery of the range it is merely an "inkling". And these two extreme points of sensory perception are really the extreme points of the spiral cycle itself. From the periphery of the range of sensory perception, where one merely has an "inkling" of the individual details, to the centre, where they emerge as "facts" or "absolute knowledge", the "experience" or the "creation of a thought", as previously mentioned, traverses the process that we call "evolution", which is a passage through the six stages or zones of the cycle. The being's range of sensory perception can therefore be divided into the six zones or kingdoms of the cycle.
