I spoke with spirits about the finite and the infinite, and indeed by mental images, [saying] that if a finite is multiplied by ever so many countless quantities, still the product is nothing in comparison to the Lord, Who is Infinite, thus the finite is nothing in comparison to the Infinite; and that the Infinite is beyond the grasp of any finite being, who, when he or she wants to think about the Infinite, meets with something most obscure, so that it looks to us like nothing. 1748, 23 Sept.
