When the human mind exists in the light of reason and no more than reason, we may say with absolute certainty that Man and all that made him will be in that instant gone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
When the Soul that is sprung from God's Word and Will is entered into its own desire to will of itself, it will run in mere uncertainty till it return to its Original again.
Often and often must he have thought, that, to be or not to be forever, was a question, which must be settled; as it is the foundation, and the only foundation upon which we feel that there can rest one thought, one feeling, or one purpose worthy of a human soul.
Every moment is, in some ways, eternal. Once you put something into the world, it stays there.
Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.
We all see that, today, man can destroy the foundation of his existence: his Earth.
The thinker dies, but his thoughts are beyond the reach of destruction. Men are mortal; but ideas are immortal.
Man is the only creature we know, that, when the term of his natural life is ended, leaves the memory of himself behind him.
When we are not sure, we are alive.
As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins.
