"These blows must happen upon all of us. They are in the idea of things, yet they are so difficult to hold up under. The power of affiliation makes out of this stunning world a reality; and the more extended the organization, the more genuine appears the shadow. In any case, the day comes when the incredible goes to the stunning, and ah, how pitiful to hold up under. However, that which is genuine, the Soul, is ever with us, inescapable. Favored is the individual who has seen the genuine in this universe of disappearing shadows."
