SECT. IX. OF THE EFFECTS OF OTHER RELATIONS AND OTHER HABITS. In a cognition which completely harmonizes with the laws of the understanding, no error can exist. An easy transition or passage of the imagination, along the ideas of these different and interrupted perceptions, is almost the same disposition of mind with that in which we consider one constant and uninterrupted perception. But the operations of the understanding are, without the schemata of sensibility, undetermined; and, in the same manner, the unity of reason is perfectly undetermined as regards the conditions under which, and the extent to which, the understanding ought to carry the systematic connection of its conceptions. The same substratum, if I may so speak, supports the most different modifications, without any difference in itself; and varies them, without any variation. For these properties may rest upon quite different grounds, of which we are completely ignorant; just as the above predicates could not give us any knowledge of the soul as it is in itself, even if we regarded them as valid in respect of it, inasmuch as they constitute a mere idea, which cannot be represented in concreto. As to the concurrence, there is only the choice left betwixt these two hypotheses. It is in vain to search for a contradiction in any thing that is distinctly conceived by the mind.
