The optimist is right. The pessimist is right. The one differs from the other as the light from the dark. Yet both are right.

How is it, then, I hear it asked, that man has the limitations that he has, that he is subject to fears and forebodings, that he is liable to sin and error, that he is the victim of disease and suffering? There is but one reason. He is not living, except in rare cases here and there, in the conscious realisation of his own true Being, and hence of his own true Self.

Again, if there is such a thing as being helled, shut off, separated from, there must be that something from which one is held, shut off, or separated.
