apparent surfaces

This section on Plate 14 seems to me to be one of this most outwardly stated apocaplypic moments.

Blake calls for a "melting away" of "apparent surfaces," to "display the infinite which was hid." Thinking of the root breakdown of apocalypse, Blake has captured an apocalyptic tone well. Instead of inviting the destructive end of something, Blake wishes to uncover the truth in life, and the true relationships between body and soul. By tearing away the misunderstandings and false truths with which the world is currently run, a new world could be exposed where "everything would appear to man as it is: infinite."

Blake is consistant with his vision even through subtle wording. He writes, "But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul is to be expunged." By phrasing this command with the body coming off of the soul, Blake makes the soul the definitive entity off of which there would be a body, were the two separate. This is a unique vision-instead of discovering the soul within the body, as is usually the human path, Blake skips the search and acknowledged the equal, dependent existence of both.
