Passage 7

In English

: This kind of testimony is based on comparison. It enables us to

understand many things that cannot be otherwise easily understood, by comparing them to some others that can be. By studying the (apparent reality) and the (empirical reality), one can infer about the (transcendental). For example, by studying the foam (empirical reality) that originates from the waves (apparent reality), one can understand the reality of the Ocean (transcendental reality). This is possible because both the foam and the waves originate from the Ocean, and mirror its character in them. This is the example cited for all beings emanating from the Ocean of Divinity as waves.
