Franklin Merrell-Wolff continues this discourse by exploring the distinction between the Oriental tendency to formulate metaphysical statements concerning yogic Realization and the Western inclination to produce psychological-epistemological statements. He addresses the question of how we determine truth by examining the approach from the empirical scientific base and from the zone of logical relationships. He comments upon the irrational, Dionysian side of man that views nature as arbitrarily ruled by the gods, and the rational, Apollonian side, which seeks to gain control over nature through scientifically understanding natural law. Wolff then returns to his analysis of truth determination by asserting that in addition to determination by empirical fact and logical relationship, there is an approach through the penetration into a transcendental way of Consciousness wherein truth becomes that with which the self is identical. He elaborates upon his description of levity, which he described in part 1 of this discourse as having a sense of returning home, and he suggests that the story of the descent of the Manasaputra offers an explanation of this imperience. He concludes by speculating that the lowest aspect of the Manasaputra can meet man only on the conceptual level but not on the sensational level.
