To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The slightest reflexion shows how closely 144 /(^<^^ of Immortality the functions and structure of the earthly life, with its impulses, emotions, and desires, are related to the bodily organism and the environment with which the organism interacts. The alteration of the material medium of life by death consequently carries with it a change in the personal life after death. Popular thought commonly fails to realise this, and tends to read the old into the new. A familiar illustration of this failure is the question which long ago the Sadducees addressed to Christ. A consequence has been the persisting tendency of ordinary people to make the after- world a kind of glorified copy of this world. The corrective to this habit must be found in a fuller recognition of the far-reaching change brought about by death. For it means much that the familiar body of flesh should be dissolved, and the soul should clothe itself in a new and celestial apparel. The former needs and desires, as well as the temporal and spatial relations in which they are set, lose their old significance and are transformed.
