Noumenon is the substance, the phenomenon is mere reflection

- As long as we are in the phenomenal world, we can perceive only that.
- We cannot be that-which-we-are until we wake up from the dream of phenomenality.
- Understand the dream as such, and stop conceptualizing and objectivizing.
- This is the basic essential - Noumenon is the substance, the phenomenon is mere reflection.
