suffer
sometimes
by
reflection,
sometimes
by
impres-sion,
I
maintain
that
it
is
also
true
that
those
in
this
degree
cannot
suffer
otherwise
than
by
impression.
This
does
not
imply
that
sorrow
may
not
be
unlimited,
and
far
more
intense
than
that
which
is
reflected,
as
the
burning
of
one
brought
into
actual
contact
with
fire
would
be
much
more
severe
than
that
of
one
who
is
burned
by
the
reflection
of
fire.
It
will
be
said,
But
God
can
teach
them
by
means
of
reflection
how
to
suffer.
God
will
not
make
use
of
reflection
for
this
end.
He
can
show
them
in
a
moment
what
they
have
to
suffer
by
a
direct
view,
and
not
by
a
re-flected
one,
as
those
in
heaven
see
in
God
that
which
is
in
Him,
and
that
which
passes
out
from
Him
to
His
creatures,
without
looking
at
these
things
or
reflecting
upon
them,
but
remaining
absorbed
and
lost
in
God.
It
is
this
which
deceives
so
many
spiritually
-minded
people,
who
imagine
that
nothing
can
be
either
known
or
suffered
but
by
reflection.
On
the
contrary,
this
kind
of
knowledge
and
suffering
is
very
slight
com-pared
to
that
which
is
imparted
in
other
ways.
All
such
-
suffering
as
can
be
distinguished
and
known,
though
expressed
in
such
exaggerated
terms,
