In all the areas within which the spiritual life of humanity is at work, 

the historical epoch wherein fate has placed us 

is an epoch of stupendous happenings.

We would be in a nasty position indeed 

if empirical science were the only kind of science possible.

To begin with, 

we put the proposition: 

pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness.

Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; 

construed objectively in this way, 

consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, 

becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, 

by virtue of consciousness, 

to be transcendent.

Experience by itself is not science …

Natural objects, for example, must be experienced 

before any theorising about them can occur.
