for the close of our study

All interpretations, psychology, attempts to make things comprehensible require the medium of theories, mythologies, and lies; none should omit, at the close of an exposition, to dissipate lies so far as may be in his power. 'Above' or 'below' is already a statement needing explanation, since an above and a below exist only in thought as abstraction. The world itself knows nothing of above or below.
