Diagram of Belief and Knowledge – relation to Truth*.

(Dispensing with statements**: “experiences” or states of mind instead.)

***		State of Mind
		↓→	→↓
(p120)		(Evidence)	(Faith)
		↓	↓
(p122)	(takes “account” of evidence!)	Knowledge	Belief ┴	(irrespective of evidence)
		↓→	→↓\
(p121)	must be true	Direct Knowledge	Indirect Knowledge ┴	(always Outer) (may be true)
(p124-6)	(Inner	Experience) ↓→	→↓\
	(/↓	↓\)
(p184-185) (p123)	(?Self-influenced Experience – relatively true)	Inner Direct Knowledge	Outer Direct Knowledge ┴	(e.g. I see a blue flash in the Sky.)
	(must be) absolutely	true		(must be) subjectively true of my thinking I see; – but what am I seeing? – and what is it?
	/↓←	←↓→	→↓\
(p185-192)	States of Mind (see p.196) <870416> ┴	(Inner) Qualities	Analogous [>>>>] ┴	[Analogous:]
(as both are inner, there is no distinction		(e.g. I feel the quality of Innocence)		(e.g. I see an inner vision of blue eyes)
as long as I am not deceiving myself)		must be absolutely true of my thinking I perceived,		(must be) absolutely true (of my thinking I see) &
		& must be absolutely true of my perceiving		(of my seeing)
		(although possibly clouded by my imperfections)		(as both are true there is no distinction)
LINK  POINT >		& of what it is –		and of what it is
		a Quality having Objective Reality (as a Quality) (i.e. existence independent of me)		(only an image – as implied – having no objective reality)
		& having the Quality of Absolute Truth (i.e. once identified, must exist) by which it is an (immediate) manifestation of an aspect of ...		(but possibly helping to 'mediate'(?) a Quality)
		The Absolute Truth
		(Also having Dynamic Independence – see p.197-200) <[87]0419>

****I appreciate that Objective Reality as defined here – i.e. existing independent of the particular observer – begs the question of whether Objective Reality must exist independent of any observer. But that is too great a question for now.

<0419> (I am unable to say where mathematics is to be found in this chart. Possibly pure mathematical logic appears inwardly as a form of a Quality# – such as Harmony? (Learnt and applied mathematics would be Indirect Knowledge.)
