But the absolute truth is the pure light --- all the rays of light and all the colors of those rays blended in the one complete light. And it is such light that we must search for when trying to discern absolute truth. For the term "absolute truth" means practically the same as the pure white light of the whole truth. However, as the external senses and the usual actions of the mind approach the truth from certain viewpoints only we shall not be able to discern absolute truth, the pure white light of truth, unless there is some faculty or sense in the human mind that is in possession of this particular power. But there is such a sense --- well termed the metaphysical sense --- a finer sense in the human mind through which the absolute truth may be discerned.

It is the advent of modern metaphysics that has demonstrated the existence of a metaphysical sense, or rather a special mental faculty through which the whole truth about things, and the perfect soul of things, may be discerned. And it is through this discovery of the metaphysical sense that practically all misunderstandings concerning the study of metaphysics may be thoroughly cleared up.

An instance of such misunderstanding is found in the fact that a number of minds find the principle of metaphysics very simple; in brief, so simple that no mental effort whatever is required to understand them. While on the other hand a large number are unable to see anything of worth in those principles.
