Note—The pain of the consideration that we shall lose our individual identity, ceases at once when we reflect that the process, as above described, is, neither more nor less than that of the absorption, by each individual intelligence, of all other intelligences (that is, of the Universe) into its own. That God may be all in all, each must become God. [Poe’s note]
