Může vám to připadat šílené, ale jednu věc musím zdůraznit. Nejde o to, že existuje předem daný svět, na který se prostě jen díváme odlišným způsobem. Spíše se v procesu, v němž Kosmos plněji poznává sám sebe, vynořují odlišné světy. Jako když ze žaludu vyroste dub - dub není odlišným obrázkem jednoho a téhož neměnného světa žaludu. Dub disponuje složkami sobě vlastními, zcela novými, které se odlišují od všeho, co známe u žaludu. Dub má listy, větve, kořeny atd., a nic z toho v reálném "světonázoru" (či v "světoprostoru") žaludu nenajdeme. Odlišnými světonázory se vytvářejí odlišné světy. Takže nejde o tentýž svět, viděný z jiné perspektivy!
