Consequently, the permanent, in relation to which alone can all relations of time in phenomena be determined, is substance in the world of phenomena, that is, the real in phenomena, that which, as the substratum of all change, remains ever the same.

 We cannot say, "All things are in time," because in this conception of things in general, we abstract and make no mention of any sort of intuition of things. In the mean time I cannot forbear observing, that the great difference in their feeling proceeds in some measure from reflection and GENERAL RULES. And, if the existence of outward things is not held to be requisite to the determination of the existence of a substance in time, the existence of these outward things at all, is a gratuitous assumption which remains without the possibility of a proof. In this case, then, there is no succession as regards time, between cause and effect, but they are simultaneous; and still the law holds good.
