@ TELEGRAM: “FIND ANY PIECE OF EXISTENCE, TAKE UP ANYTHING THAT ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY CALL A FACT, OR COULD IN ANY SENSE ASSERT TO HAVE BEING, AND THEN JUDGE IF IT DOES NOT CONSIST IN SENTIENT EXPERIENCE. TRY TO DISCOVER ANY SENSE IN WHICH YOU CAN STILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK OF IT, WHEN ALL PERCEPTION AND FEELING HAVE BEEN REMOVED; OR POINT OUT ANY FRAGMENT OF ITS MATTER, ANY ASPECT OF ITS BEING, WHICH IS NOT DERIVED FROM AND IS NOT STILL RELATIVE TO THIS SOURCE. WHEN THE EXPERIMENT IS MADE STRICTLY, I CAN MYSELF CONCEIVE OF NOTHING ELSE THAN THE EXPERIENCED. ANYTHING, IN NO SENSE FELT OR PERCEIVED, BECOMES TO ME QUITE UNMEANING. AND AS I CANNOT TRY TO THINK OF IT WITHOUT REALISING EITHER THAT I AM NOT THINKING AT ALL, OR THAT I AM THINKING OF IT AGAINST MY WILL AS BEING EXPERIENCED, I AM DRIVEN TO THE CONCLUSION THAT FOR ME EXPERIENCE IS THE SAME AS REALITY. THE FACT THAT FALLS ELSEWHERE SEEMS, IN MY MIND, TO BE A MERE WORD AND A FAILURE, OR ELSE AN ATTEMPT AT SELF-CONTRADICTION. IT IS A VICIOUS ABSTRACTION WHOSE EXISTENCE IS MEANINGLESS NONSENSE, AND IS THEREFORE NOT POSSIBLE.“ F. H.
