Perception and Knowledge Depend on Unity

… this sameness, this unity, this perfection -- as we may call it -- is not to be made, it already exists, and is here. 
We have only to recognise it, to understand it. 
Whether we know it or not, whether we can express it in clear language or not, whether this perception assumes the force and clearness of a sense-perception or not, it is there. 
For we are bound by the logical necessity of our minds to confess that it is there, else, the perception of the finite would not be.  …

… Knowledge would be impossible without that unity. Without the idea of sameness there would be neither perception nor knowledge. So both run side by side.
