For experience itself is a mode of cognition which requires understanding.

 Consequently the coexistence of substances in space cannot be cognized in experience otherwise than under the precondition of their reciprocal action. Potential $500,000 with only $25 investment! For the external sense is, in itself, the relation of intuition to something real, external to me; and the reality of this something, as opposed to the mere imagination of it, rests solely on its inseparable connection with internal experience as the condition of its possibility. 
  • The same demand must again be made of the cause itself--as a datum of experience.
 We have seen that everything which the understanding draws from itself, without borrowing from experience, it nevertheless possesses only for the behoof and use of experience. But in this representation we cannot find any knowledge of the subject, and therefore also no empirical knowledge, that is, experience. That We may be able to enumerate with systematic precision these ideas according to a principle, we must remark, in the first place, that it is from the understanding alone that pure and transcendental conceptions take their origin; that the reason does not properly give birth to any conception, but only frees the conception of the understanding from the unavoidable limitation of a possible experience, and thus endeavours to raise it above the empirical, though it must still be in connection with it. Judgements of experience, as such, are always synthetical.
