One of the things I took away after re-reading ZMM recently was that the
conflict between those two truths is mere SOM illusion. As Quality shapes
the objects, it also shapes the subject. Hence the more we understand an
object outside ourselves, the more we understand ourselves. There is no
conflict, because the ideas are identical.
