Reflection tells us, that even our resembling perceptions are interrupted in their existence, and different from each other.

 When we exclude these sensible qualities there remains nothing in the universe, which has such an existence. An interrupted appearance to the senses implies not necessarily an interruption in the existence. The conceptions of reality, substance, causality, nay, even that of necessity in existence, have no significance out of the sphere of empirical cognition, and cannot, beyond that sphere, determine any object. 
Now, if it can be shown that the three kinds of transcendental ideas (psychological, cosmological, and theological), although not relating directly to any object nor determining it, do nevertheless, on the supposition of the existence of an ideal object, produce systematic unity in the laws of the empirical employment of the reason, and extend our empirical cognition, without ever being inconsistent or in opposition with it- it must be a necessary maxim of reason to regulate its procedure according to these ideas.
