are
taken
from
it
:
that
certain
vague,
indefinable
something,
which
formerly
occupied
without
occupy-ing
it,
is
gone,
and
nothing
remains
to
it.
But
this
insensibility
is
very
different
to
that
of
death,
burial,
and
decay.
That
was
a
deprivation
of
life,
a.
dis-taste,
a
separation,
the
powerlessness
of
the
dying
united
with
the
insensibility
of
the
dead
;
but
this
is
an
elevation
above
all
these
things,
which
does
not
remove
them,
but
renders
them
useless.
A
dead
man
is
deprived
of
all
the
functions
of
life
by
the
powerlessness
of
death
;
but
if
he
were
to
be
raised
gloriously,
he
would
be
full
of
life,
with-out
having
the
power
to
preserve
it
by
means
of
the
senses
:
and
being
placed
above
all
means
by
virtue
of
his
germ
of
immortality,
he
would
no
longer
feel
that
which
animated
him,
although
he
would
know
himself
to
be
alive.
In
this
degree
God
cannot
be
tasted,
seen,
or
felt,
being
no
longer
distinct
from
ourselves,
but
one
with
us.
The
soul
has
neither
inclination
nor
taste
for
anything:
in
the
period
of
death
and
burial
it
experienced
this,
but
in
a
very
different
manner.
Then
it
arose
from
distaste
and
powerlessness,
but
