The subject subjected is less than a shadow since there is the maximum distance between what he might know and its object. Everything is spun from the thread of his imagination, and that imagination is fed only from his  selfhood, which is what he seeks to establish by means of it. The subject reincorporated into the whole is redeemed from the consequences of his own poverty without that poverty being in any degree alleviated. His thoughts have their source elsewhere and however limited and known to be limited they are the working out of a specific and unique set of possibilities whose final significance is his own mystical body, however unknown to him in the pain and separation of the thinking.
