"So, when all has become still around one, as solemn as a starlit night, when the soul is alone in the whole world, then there appears before one, not a distinguished man, but the eternal Power itself. The heavens part....Then has the soul beheld the loftiest sight that mortal eye can see...then the personality receives the accolade of knighthood which ennobles it for an eternity. He does not become another man than he was before, but becomes himself..."
Kierkegaard's description of the moment the individual stands before God.
