(5) Commencement of willing requires particulars When we wake, we wake into a universe of things. Our waking is not to ourselves, and, specifically, not to our consciousness alone. If it were, then a decisive bifurcation would be justified between thought and the process which thought contemplates. There are commencements of acting and willing which make the universe, that we contemplate, a universe of particulars (as well as a universe).

In so believing, Bacon was simply applying the first test of truth. With reference to the second, it is sufficient to state that the fact that we believe, for example, in the existence of a certain object which we see even before we handle or touch it, is because our sight is ordinarily a safe criterion and what it finds out to be true is verified by other senses in the same individual and also by the same or other senses in different individuals.
