Información de la editorial
Excerpt from The Column of Dust It wished to serve neither its own interests nor those Of the Supernal Light; and had no aim, only an aching inquisitiveness. Now the itch to know, coupled with the inability to care, produces there, as here, that restless and unsociable disposition which we classify as the result Of an imperfect and egotistical education. There, as here, it Of course frustrates itself; Since those who do not love can never understand. Hence this thing, which was free, was also ignorant and very wretched. The essence Of its wretchedness was, that because it, its ignorance and curiosity, had never been born, they could never die. They existed in the unchanging Idea, without hope Of release. Fortunately, it did not know this; for Spirit is as unable to conceive ending as man to conceive endlessness. This something, then, was alive and utterly alone, with a loneliness that is only possible to the dis interested and discarnate. There was nothing for it to do, Since it could neither create, combine, nor destroy. It could think, but possessed no medium Of self-expression, no apparatus by which it could be linked up with other lives; for it did not love, and being immaterial, lacked the senses - those Oblique and clumsy substitutes for love by which men reach out towards each other's souls.
