Document Summary
Anything we experience through our senses is colored by how our mind perceives it, therefore cannot have access to external reality. Only thoughts and ideas that originate in the mind can be immediately experienced. Forms are real because they have certain properties that physical and images do not. The twice-divided line illustrates the gradations of realness. Bottom(beliefs and imagining) half resides in physical world, top half(forms and understanding) resides in intellectual. Things that appear to be are not real things, the real things are the things we do not have access to. (sensible things is like shadows and real thing is the people outside). Once they come into real world it is coming to know forms. How objects and states of mind work together. Forms are not real because they are indeterminate objects. Does not exist until we picture it in our minds. Concrete particles are real because everything in nature is individual.
