CP 2.121 At a later stage of our logical studies this dependence of nomology upon metaphysics will appear very evident. As to Metaphysics, if the theory of logic which is to be developed in this book has any truth, the position of the two greatest of all metaphysicians, Aristotle and Kant, will herein be supported by satisfactory proof, that that science can only rest directly upon the theory of logic. Indeed, it may be said that there has hardly been a metaphysician of the first rank who has not made logic his stepping-stone to metaphysics.

122. Such is the place of logic among the sciences; and such is its utility. Yet the reader will find that the aggregate value of all such applications will not compare with the treasure of the pure theory itself. For when he has surveyed the whole subject, he will see that the theory of logic, in so far as we attain to it, is the vision and the attainment of that Reasonableness for the sake of which the Heavens and the Earth have been created. END
If we merely understand that the end of logic is heaven we are closer to the truth than ever. We are there!
Kastrup almost says this. It is not an original thought or feeling. It cannot be. We are logic after all. We are all metaphysicians. We are all philosophers. We are all destined t the same end. Such statements are dross and nothing to those whose freedom is set on whatever gods of the moment happen to be. But those forced to look within and whose consciousness takes in the truth of everything come out at least considering that our scientist subject, Senor Santiago Pierce, sinner extraordinaire, is left holding the little bag where the answer lies engraved on a small stone. The end of logic is goodness.
