734. It is similar when man does not reflect upon those things that are in his mind or animus - how he thinks, what he thinks, what he does, whence he does it. Without reflection he knows nothing except that he is, and nothing else; thus he does not know of what quality he is. If, however, he reflects upon himself from others, or if he suffers others to reflect upon him and to say of what quality he is, he can then first recognize that he is such. Otherwise he can never know it, but remains in his phantasies and from them he reflects upon others. Thus he supposes truths to be falsities because he judges from his own phantasies, and such as is the principle from which we judge, such also is everything thence derived.
