It Is Worth Noting That

I Also Take It As Granted That Every Created Thing, And Consequently The Created Monad Also, Is Subject To Change, And Indeed That This Change Is Continual In Each One.

If We Were Magically Shrunk And Put Into Someone's Brain While She Was Thinking, We Would See All The Pumps, Pistons, Gears And Levers Working Away And We Would Be Able To Describe The Workings Completely, In Mechanical Terms, Thereby Completely Describing The Thought Processes Of The Brain. But That Description Would Not Contain Any Mention Of Thought! It Would Contain Nothing But Descriptions Of Pumps, Pistons, Levers!

There Are Also Two Kinds Of Truths, Those Of Reasoning And Those Of Fact. Truths Of Reasoning Are Necessary And Their Opposite Is Impossible, And Those Of Fact Are Contingent And Their Opposite Is Possible. When A Truth Is Necessary Its Reason Can Be Found By Analysis, Resolving It Into More Simple Ideas And Truths Until We Reach Those Which Are Primitive.

Now This Connection Or Adaption Of All Created Things With Each, And Of Each With All The Rest, Means That Each Simple Substance Has Relations Which Express All The Others, And That Consequently It Is A Perpetual Living Mirror Of The Universe.

The Greatness Of A Life Can Only Be Estimated By The Multitude Of Its Actions. We Should Not Count The Years, It Is Our Actions Which Constitute Our Life.
