        Imagine the whole of physical world ( or an enough large part of
physical world, if such expression as 'whole' be not allowed ) and partition
off a part from it.
I am meaning a human brain here of course.
When is not it impossible for the part to cognize the rest of the whole ?
Whatever phenomena, including images and symbols on the external world, may
take place within the part, what else can the phenomena be than
metamorphoses of the part ? And metamorphoses of a part and the rest of the
whole are different things.
A part can never and never be anything but the part itself, so long as a
part is a part.
There may be such an illusion , “Reason is something more than that, yes,
it is cognizing even the universe !”.
The fact is, both the illusion itself, "reason" and the “cognized
 universe” can never be anything but metamorphoses of a part. And
metamorphoses of a part and the rest of the whole are different things.
We have to be aware that we are caged in the cage of the self and we,
principally, can never cognize the outside of the self.

        Can we think on true time ?
Can metamorphoses in the present be true time ?
