________________ THE TRUTH 65 acquired from the object; in recognition they are furnished by the mind and verified in the object. Hence, the greater the verification of detail the greater the sense of familiarity. The primary stage of recognition is the identification by a mental impulse of an object or thing in the outside world. The second stage is reached with the confirmation of the details from the mind. The feeling of familiarity is likely to be intensified if the object is one that appeals powerfully to the emotional side of the recalling consciousness. But even this feel. ing of familiarity is not a sure indication of a complete recognition as is evident from the cases of mistaken identity, especially those amongst such intimate and closely related individuals as husband and wife. Perhaps the hall-mark of recognition is the thrill which is experienced when there is a coinciding between the rhythms of the memory impress and the object in the world outside.
