This essay is based on the understanding that besides those faculties which humans exert ordinarily and by which they judge and contemplate sensory phenomena, they possess a dormant higher faculty of awareness. If they are fortunate enough to be admitted to a program of study in which they learn to understand and activate this faculty, all the forms of things, the hidden springs of nature, and the ultimate truth progressively become intuitively known in their essence.

"We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true. But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know.
