XI. God, who is in every sense infinite activity, is infinitely intelligent and infinitely intelligible by himself.
XII. God is intelligible by all created intellects, provided it be his will to present himself immediately to them, and strengthen and elevate them as may be necessary.
XIII. There is no repugnance in immediate intelligibility being communicated to some beings, which are consequently intelligible by themselves.
XIV. Our soul, while united to our body, is not immediately intelligible, and we know it only by its acts.
XV. In this want of immediate intelligibility is found the reason of the difficulty of ideological and psychological studies, and the obscurity which we experience in passing from direct to reflex knowledge.
XVI. Therefore, the philosophy of the me, or that which seeks to explain the internal and external world by starting from the me, is impossible; it commences by denying one of the fundamental facts of psychology.
XVII. Therefore, the doctrine of universal identity is also absurd, since it gives both intelligence and immediate intelligibility to matter, which can have neither.
XVIII. Spiritualism, therefore, is a truth which springs as well from subjective as from objective philosophy, from intelligence as from intelligibility.
XIX. We must, therefore, go beyond ourselves, and even rise above the universe to find the origin of either subjective or objective representation.
