ground

the ground of the concept of the totality - of the world

is the world

we conceive consciousness

and we conceive that which is not consciousness

consciousness and non-consciousness

is the totality

the world is two dimensional

the concept of the totality

is necessary for consciousness' being

its awareness of itself

what is not itself

- that which is not itself - is that which is outside of it -

surrounds it

consciousness conceives itself as within

when we speak of the world - we are speaking of the outside of consciousness

consciousness includes itself as - within the world

the totality - is neither in nor out

neither the inside nor the outside

it is that which is inside and outside

that - is that

it cannot be spoken of - thought of -

except in terms of its dimensions

the totality as such is unknown

it is the ground of consciousness

the ground of that which is not conscious

it is necessity

and necessity is existence
