Chapter LXVI.—Existence and Conception.
To this Simon replied:669
| 669 [The remaining
chapters of this book hare no exact parallel in the
Homilies.—R.] | “O thou who hast woven a web
of many frivolities, listen now. It is impossible that anything
which comes into a man’s thoughts should not also subsist in
truth and reality. For things that do not subsist, have no
appearances;670
| 670 That is, have no
visible or sensible species, according to the Platonic theory of
perception. | but things that
have no appearances, cannot present themselves to our
thoughts.” Then said Peter: “If everything that
can come into our thoughts has a subsistence, then, with respect to
that place of immensity which you say is outside the world, if one
thinks in his heart that it is light, and another that it is darkness,
how can one and the same place be both light and darkness, according to
their different thoughts concerning it?” Then said
Simon: “Let pass for the present what I have said; and tell
us what you suppose to be above the heavens.”
