a - In the «cell» exists a «barred window» through which the prisoner obtains a precarious image
but «direct» of the exterior world.

b - Establishing a permanent contact with the Self is the «sensorial sphere» through which it
obtains a precarious image but «direct» of the exterior world.

c - The «barred window» is analogous to the «sensorial sphere» (or of the «senses») in the asleep
man.

a - In the cell exists a «barred door» through which the guards get into, and with them the
censored news, in other words, where the prisoner obtains an «indirect» image of the exterior
world.

b - The Self can make an «indirect» image of the exterior world by the «reflection», it means, the
act through which he receives the «reasoned» information.

c - The «barred door» is analogous to the act of reflect or to warn.

a - The cell of the «prisoner» is in a «tower» and this one in a «walled courtyard». Surrounding
the walls are «deep pits», and then other walls, and other pits; and so on until they complete
seven turns of walls and pits. The seven circuits of security of this formidable «prison» are
connected each other by «drawbridges», «corridors» , «gates» , «drawbars», etc. beyond the last
wall extends the «exterior world», the country of the Enemy. In synthesis: the «prison» is a
static structure that interposes between the prisoner and the exterior world.

b - Between the Self and the exterior world interposes a complex static structure called
«cultural». The «reason», to make «reasonable» the information of the exterior world, supports
in certain elements of that static or «cultural» structure, for example the «preeminent cultural
premises», which means concepts of the perception of the entities or the external cultural
objects.
