However, in the Cassier hand out Kant expresses that “[. . .] the difference between actuality and possibility also becomes uncertain” it is through this uncertainty that imagination surfaces and through this congregation a symbol arises, which in turn through the subconscious, maybe, meaning is created (Cassier).

Therefore, I would state that the mind and the subconscious are very important for creating meaning for the external and internal world, but it is only through experience that not only do we analyze the meaning that is given but allows for one to create their own meaning.
