"To understand the laws of life we do not need to explain the origin of spirit, that is, of consciousness. It is the only clear, indubitable and timeless thing that does not require an explanation of its origin, but on the contrary, only on it can all knowledge be based. In order to understand the laws of life, we need to explain why the consciousness of all people receives the phenomena of the material world (the boundaries of separate consciousness), sees, hears, perceives the same.

""Pentru a înțelege legile vieții nu trebuie să explicăm originea spiritului, adică a conștiinței. E singurul lucru limpede, neîndoielnic și atemporal care nu cere explicația originii sale, ci dimpotrivă, numai pe el se poate intemeia orice cunoștința. Pentru a înțelege legile vieții, trebuie să explicăm de ce conștiința tuturor oamenilor receptează identic fenomenele lumii materiale (limitele conștiinței separate), vede, aude, percepe la fel."
