Franklin Merrell-Wolff discusses the epistemological problem of trying to imagine or derive by analysis a Consciousness that is without a center. He asserts that we must distinguish between two orders of cognition; namely, that of the immediacy and factuality of sense perception and that of the syntactical element of conceptuality that is the basis of all relations including logic and the conception of law. He points out that one reason why there are those who cannot imagine a Consciousness without a center is that you cannot imagine that for which you have no immediate basis or referent. Wolff affirms that there is another order of immediacy, and he gives an account of the philosophic inquiry that led to his Realization of this order. He emphasizes the importance of a base of reference or perspective for truth determination in our subject-object field of consciousness, and suggests the possibility of realizing Consciousness-without-an-object-and-without-a-subject by means of cognition unconditioned by perspective.
