The Eternal World Picture, vol. 4
40.2  Why the terrestrial human being through direct physical sensing can attain merely a theoretical overview of the Earth itself
With the ordinary, current, physical method of sensing, the individual is dependent on time and space or a fixed, physical perspective, which it has no very realistic way of evading. This fixed perspective has the effect that some distances can, for example, be "too close", so that the appropriate distance, on which the researcher's overview of these is dependent, is not present. This is for example the case with the Earth, which is the terrestrial human being's "closest" star. In the physical sensory perspective it is far too close, and its individual details are far too big, sometimes completely filling the sensory horizon. The terrestrial human being has no opportunity, in the ordinary physical way of sensing, for getting the Earth at such a distance that a fundamental, practical overview of it dependent on this can be experienced. It must be content with a theoretical overview.
