Well, let us see. Suppose I go to the piano and play for you Beethoven's Sonata Appassionata.

I thus set up motion in mind and body, but I am not in that motion. I cause it, I oversee it, I control it, and for those very reasons I am not in it. The apparent I is in it, but not the real I. Note the expression My mind, my body, my self. What does it mean? Simply that I have a mind, I have a. body, I have a self. I, the master, cause this mind, body and self to function, or act. It is thus I express myself. In rendering the Sonata my apparent self, or in other words, the self that appears, must hold close to me, the true Self. From this Self Beethoven wrote the Sonata, from this same Self I render it, for do you not understand, this Self of which I speak, was not only a Beethoven, it is you, it is I, as well. It is back of mind and function, but expresses itself through both.

The great central Self holds the entire Sonata in the hollow of its hand. It encompasses it round about. It sees it in its fullness. This the functional self can not do, for it has not the comprehensive vision, the omniscience which sees the end with the beginning, but by virtue of its functioning must pass through all the intermediate terms, cognizing each in its passage, but never grasping the whole.
