The sinner who has lost his way is nearest to God, nearest than the angels.
As content of the intelligible self, there is noematically no higher value visible than truth, beauty, and the good. In so far, however, as the intelligible Universal is "lined" with the Universal of absolute Nothingness, the "lost Self" becomes visible, and there remains only the proceeding in the direction of noesis. In transcending in that direction the highest value of negation of values becomes visible: it is the religious value. The religious value, therefore, means absolute negation of the Self. The religious ideal consists in becoming a being which denies itself. There is a seeing without a seeing one, and a hearing without a hearing one. This is salvation.
