---

The truth about the universe cannot be had unless at the same time we get outside the limited views and emotional prejudices of the personal life. Nor can we get at the truth about ourselves so long as we think in terms of a single earthly lifetime. To do so leads to mental short-sightedness and gives an incorrect visual image of human life. All this shows why we need both the quest's discipline and philosophy's knowledge.
