“Aye, just as it must be terrible for one who is thought to be dead while he still lives, and has the power of sensation, and can hear what those present say about him, but is unable in any way to express that he is still alive, so also for the religious individual is the suffering of his annihilation a fearful thing, when he has the absolute conception present with him in his nothingness, but no mutuality.”
