Sermon on Emerson's Essay: Intellect, Part 3

Thought emerges out of the unconsciousness of our birth, and as we develop our intellect, we actively construct our soul.

But yet, the soul must be moved and put itself out into the world by constructively contributing something of value to others to carry into human culture. Through this, immortality is obtained.
