But this knowledge is just supplemental knowledge to the very direct and subtle perception that is spiritual "information" regarding another person, and which can come in the form of a sensing of one's own deep feeling regarding the environment. In this way, all truth about the external is not viewed through the primary senses, but is felt through the holistic spiritual sense, and thus is perceived clearly from the symbolic "inside" of a person.
