Quote by martain Jay- The Downward Eye.
"What counts as valid research has traadionally been occular"

Rene Descartes (1596-1950)
"I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am"
so i doubt what i see as it may be different to others.
For descartes- The mind is where everything begins, the mind comes first, the body second.

the mind sees a an image of the world

the most truthful thing you can see with your mind is a clear and distinct idea.

"It is the mind that is seeing, not the body" (Rene Descarts)



Doubt and Presence are always together.
