that these two Nothings are mere aspects or sides of presentation of the
Product, which is itself the only Reality. In respect to the _Real
Being_, those two sides are _Nothings_. But, as appearances or ideal
views of the Reality under the process of analytical abstraction in the
mind, they are so far _Somethings_ as to receive names and to be treated
of and considered as _if_ they were _Realities_. _Reality_ in the
_Absolute_ aspect, the aspect of _Undifferentiated Unity_, (Unismal),
contains these two factors interblended and undiscriminated. In the
_Relative_ aspect, that of _Duality_, (Duismal), it is the compound of
these two factors separated and distinguished. Finally, in the
_Integral_ aspect of _Compound Unity_ (Trinismal), it consists of the
_Unismal_ and the _Duismal_ aspects contrasted--the only _real_ state,
or possible condition of actual existence. _And this is the Type of all
Reality or Real Existence in every department of Being in the Universe._

But practically and ordinarily, these strictly analytical views of the
question of existence are abandoned. Reality, compounded, as we have
seen that it is when viewed in this way, of a Positive and a Negative
Factor, is assumed as itself a Simple Element and set over against the
grand residuum of Negation in the Universe of Being. This is what Kant,
less analytical than Hegel, has done, when, in distributing the
Categories of Thought, he has contrasted REALITY with NEGATION.

This is, as if, in respect to the External Material World, we were to
divide Matter--the Planets, for example, first assigning to them the
portions of Space which they bodily and respectively fill as if it were
a part of themselves--from the remaining ocean or grand residuum of
Space which surrounds them and in which they float. This residuum of
Space would then be spoken of as _Space_, and the Planetary Bodies,
_along with and including the spaces which they fill_, would be spoken
of as _Matter_. This is a kind of division, less analytical, but more
convenient, obvious, and practical, than the other which would attempt
to separate the whole of Space from the Matter within Space. It is in
this more practical manner that we _ordinarily_ think of the division of
the Heavens into the Domains of _Matter_ and _Space_.

Between _Reality_, then, including a subordinate portion of Space--the
content and volume of the Planet--and the grand ocean of Space, outlying
and surrounding the Pla
