The point is to abandon naive realism, which is the belief that sensory impressions (the shadows on the wall) are the true representations of objects.
Instead, through philosophical reasoning, you arrive at the Eternal Forms, the abstract schemas which define every instance of every object, and of which every object is just a copy with slight deviations.
So to obtain the "sun light" you need to see the forest for the trees and see every object as an instance of a universal Form. Each object stands in a projective relation to these Forms in the same way that a hologram stands in relation to its image.

But why?
The abstract idea of The Tree doesn't convey the shape, size and other qualities of the particular tree I'm seeing right now.
