RETROSPECTION AND INTROSPECTION
increases one's sense of corporeality, and begets a fear of the senses and a perpetually egotistical sensibility.
He who does this is ignorant of the meaning of the word personality, and defines it by his own corpus sine pectore (soulless body), and fails to distinguish the individual, or real man from the false sense of corporeality, or egotistic self.
My own corporeal personality afflicteth me not wittingly: for I desire never to think of it, and it cannot think of me.
