819. We have thereby witnessed the difference between "relative" sight and "absolute" sight. Whereas "relative" sight constitutes, as previously mentioned, the acknowledgment of the reaction of the contact of movements with movements, "absolute" sight is the acknowledgment of the contact of the "X", or the I, with the movement. Whereas the first acknowledgment – the reaction of the contact of movements with movements – constitutes in itself merely the acknowledgment of movement without an originator, since the reaction of the contact of movements with movements can in itself be only a new movement, the acknowledgment of the reaction of the I's contact with the movement can be only an acknowledgment of "I" and "it", which together constitute the revelation of not only the "created" but also the "creator". The reaction of the contact of the I or the "X" with movement – in contrast to the "relative" acknowledgment, which expresses merely the movement's relationship to another movement, thereby rendering the acknowledgment nothing other than an answer in terms of weights and measures or a lifeless thing – will therefore be able to exist only as an acknowledgment of the whole, an acknowledgment that constitutes movement in relation to the absolute "fixed point" or I, and that thereby appears as a "sign of life". To see the movements, that is to say all created things, as mere matter, substance or power is thus a "relative" sight. To see the movements as "signs of life", that is, as the products of will and intelligence, and thereby as revealing a "something that is" or the nameless "X" behind the movements, is the "absolute" sight. And this brings us to the sight that we call "cosmic clear-sightedness". To have this clear-sightedness is therefore the same as to be able to see things as they are eternally, namely as "signs of life". To see absolutely any kind of movement, whether it appears to us as matter, substance or power, as the expression of will and thereby life and consciousness, is to see with – not "relative" – but "absolute" sight.
