[Alamo-Girl]

The text which begins with this sentence "But where is the origin and end of existence to be found?" I take to be his suggestion.

[tpaine]

But where is the origin and end of existence to be found? As a preliminary to the answer we must interpret the phenomenon of questioning itself; and for this purpose we must add to illumination and transcendence two further properties of the Intellect,…ideation and reasoning. Through illumination and transcendence existence has come into view as an existent thing in a field of existent things.

Sorry, I see no suggestion there, only more 'intellectual' sounding pretence.
