III. When we say that the intuition of external objects, and also the self-intuition of the subject, represent both, objects and subject, in space and time, as they affect our senses, that is, as they appear--this is by no means equivalent to asserting that these objects are mere illusory appearances. By this means there arises a kind of contrariety in our method of thinking, from the different points of view, in which we survey the object, and from the nearness or remoteness of those instants of time, which we compare together. It may not be amiss, before we leave this subject, to explain the ideas of existence and of external existence; which have their difficulties, as well as the ideas of space and time. The door to this exciting new business opportunity is wide open, but it won't stay open for long. Neither time, nor place, nor all the diversity of nature are able to produce any composition or change in its perfect simplicity and identity. Thus space and time were the intelligible form of the connection of things (substances and their states) in themselves. But this "how many times" is based upon successive repetition, consequently upon time and the synthesis of the homogeneous therein. For as conditions of all existence in general, space and time must be conditions of the existence of the Supreme Being also. SECT. VII OF CONTIGUITY AND DISTANCE IN SPACE AND TIME
