The inner is still a pure other-worldly beyond for consciousness, for

consciousness does not encounter itself within it. The inner is empty, for it

is only the nothingness of appearance and, positively, the simple universal.

-

This way of being the inner meets with immediate agreement among those

who say that the inner of things is not to be known;however, the ground

for this assertion should be understood in a different way.

-

There is certainly no acquaintance with the inner,?

in the way that it is immediately here, but this is not because?

reason would be too short-sighted,or restricted,or whatever?

else one wants to call it.?

-

Why this is so is not something especially well

known to us here, for we have not yet gone very deeply into the matter.

-

Rather, it has to do with the simple nature of what is at stake,because in

the void, nothing is known, or, to speak about it in another way, because?

it is defined43as the very other-worldly beyond of consciousness.?

– The result is of course the same as if a blind?

person were to be set amidst the wealth of the?

supersensible world – if that world has such wealth, whether it be

its own distinctive content or whether it be consciousness itself?

that is this content – or if a person with sight were to be?

situated in total darkness, or if you please, situated位于 in pure?

light (if the supersensible world were indeed to be something like that).?

-

In that pure light, the person with sight sees as little?

as he sees in total darkness, and he sees exactly as much as the

blind person sees of the riches lying right in front of him.
