The theoretical truth cannot be grasped for those who are in the phenomenal world. To transcend then, the boundaries of the material, to come to know the truth, is an infinitesimal process. Just as we humans can see the one side of the sun at all times, so the mind can only see the light from one side. There is always the other side that the observer cannot see.
In Idealism the projection of the self unconsciously manifests itself on to the others - losing "the other" as a being separate from oneself. This experience to the mind is a phenomenon of Being indescribable in language.
On the other hand, then we focus on the real, as a separate domain, then the material world becomes a fascinating other. The other sometimes repulsive, at other times beautiful and always wise, becomes not the subconscious reflected by the mind's eye in idealism but the opposite - "the real becomes the practical."
However the mind and its ego cannot help but unify these two perspectives by moving those around by pure will, to create a fairy tale narrative for the "true." With new meaning to "the Will to Power" can we accept the debate between freewill and determinism. It remains unknown if the "truth" can stay true, the process of survival.
