Previous owner's details on ffep. viii, 252 pages clean and tight. 'LIFE IS A LABYRINTH IN WHICH WE GET LOST AND are unable to fmd the way out. The Minotaur consumes us because we leave no trace, always losing sight of ourselves every moment, and forget to unwind the thread Ariadne has given us.' We get, the writer suggests, a clearer sight of ourselves if we realize that our senses do not by any means, show us all that exists, but only a limited reality confined to the passing moment. There are more realities than the senses reveal. None of our senses shows us thought, but thought, though invisible, is as real as are feeling and sensation. Do we not exist internally in an invisible and private world of thought, feeling and sensation? Is this not a very real world to each of us? Our five senses open externally on a visible world, common to all. Which is the most real? Can we possibly say that the world revealed to the senses is the whole of reality? The reality of the invisible is necessary to our thinking in these days. The writer has collected many notes, quotations and reflections bearing on the reality of the invisible.
