>>5010620>untouchable like a distant diamond skyWill and thought in the soul-image correspond to Direction and Extension, History
and Nature, Destiny and Causality in the image of the outer world. Both aspects of
our basic characters emerge in our prime-symbol which is infinite extension.
Will links the future to the present, thought the unlimited to the here. The
historic future is distance-becoming, the boundless world-horizon distance-become —
this is the meaning of the Faustian depth-experience. The direction-feeling
as " Will" and the space-feeling as "Reason" are imagined as entities, almost
as legend-figures; and out of them comes the picture that our psychologists
of necessity abstract from the inner life.
