XXXVI. Swedenhorg. " It is commonly believed,

that life is in man his, so that he is not only a recep- tacle of life, but also life. That it is commonly so be- lieved is from appearance^ because he lives, i. e. feels, thinks, speaks, and acts, altogether as from himself." True G. R. page 335.
Spinoza. This is a repetition of XIV. The essence of man, according to Spinoza, does not involve neces- sary existence, and men believe themselves free, of themselves (and not from God), because " they are con- scious of their desires, but not conscious of the cause of them."
