Our understanding,
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30

however, concluded a decrease in diversity on the higher levels of musical knowledge, and purely by habit kept its cognizant eye directed predominantly towards the superficially recognizable diversity in the lower worlds of music.
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33

The inertia of our understanding,
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30

which resulted from its structural adaptation to the lower fields of musical energy,
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33

disallowed it to perceive the diversity in the subtler and denser fields of greater musical unity
6. 10, 11, 9. 14, 15, 16. 26, 27
5. 9, 6. 10, 10. 16, 17, 17. 28, 29
5. 6, 7, 10. 18, 19, 17. 30, 31

with the same distinctness as in the lower worlds of music.
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33

Thus, our understanding
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30

kept its eye of cognition directed predominantly towards fields of lower musical energy,
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33

and due to their outer distinctness it could not be convinced to release greater, inner intelligence in order to gain higher knowledge.
