to Arthur Greeves: On what we get to keep in the life of the world to come.1 0
29 july 1930
It is an interesting and rather grim enquiry—how much of our present selves we could hope to take with us if there were another life. I take it that whatever is merely intellectual, mere theory, must go, since we probably hold it only by memory habit, which may depend on the matter of the brain. Only what has gone far deeper, what has been incorporated into the unconscious depths, can hope to survive. his often comes over me when I think of religion: and it is a shock to realise that the mere thinking it may be nothing, and that only the tiny bit which we really practice is likely to be ours in any sense of which death can not make hay.
