    Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Outline (1817), § 452:

    § 452. The spiritual substance, which frees its content, as well as its individual actuality or its self-consciousness, from its limitedness in the fear of death, has raised this to infinity, and therein is an object to itself as universal spirit, which self-consciousness knows as its substance, thereby likewise freed from fear, and which is the actuality corresponding to its concept.
