The general principle of all three analogies rests on the necessary unity of apperception in relation to all possible empirical consciousness (perception) at every time, consequently, as this unity lies a priori at the foundation of all mental operations, the principle rests on the synthetical unity of all phenomena according to their relation in time. The conditions of this doctrine are--inasmuch as it must, as a synthesis according to rules, be conformable to the understanding, and at the same time as the absolute unity of the synthesis, to the reason--that, if it is adequate to the unity of reason, it is too great for the understanding, if according with the understanding, it is too small for the reason. For, to do so, I must cognize this being as existing, and yet not in time, which--since I cannot support my conception by any intuition--is impossible.
