Writing on the Subject of:

Man's dual nature: part mortal beast and part immortal divinity:

If a man were a beast or an angel, he would not be able to be in dread. [That is, if he were totally unconscious or totally divine in consciousness.] Since he is a synthesis he can be in dread ... man himself produced dread [anxiety about death].
