Nevertheless* the sense of underlying unity is an inner-sensed quality, affecting perceptions of the whole external World including oneself; in this it is distinguishable from wholly inner qualities such as that of xP, or +C. It is also distinguishable in that it seems to happen much earlier. The quality comes across strongly as being of God. I speak from memory of long-ago experience.**

(If I am right – if my memory is correct – if I were to write truthfully: 'As I write I feel with an inner sense the strong quality of Divine unity underlying all things', then if I had made a correct account, this statement would be absolutely true)***.

Its effect is to turn, or draw, one strongly towards God. Perhaps that is its purpose. I am not sure that I made this clear enough on p128****. It seems clear now that that it is a relatively early-stage manifestation, perhaps available to anyone who can forget his cares for a time while (say) walking in the country. I am not at all certain that it is likely to re-appear#, particularly as it seems to be essentially a manifestation of Divine quality of [sic] the external World.
