This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Alan William Smolowe who gave birth to the creation of this database.
The beatitude into which the enlightened soul is delivered is something quite different from pleasure... Blessedness depends on non-attachment and selflessness, therefore can be enjoyed without satiety and without revulsion; is a participation in eternity, and therefore remains itself without diminution or fluctuation.
Blessedness | Character | Eternity | Pleasure | Satiety | Soul |
There is satiety of all things, of sleep and love, of sweet song and the goodly dance.
