“No living person can enter the perception of his fellow save as a body. This holds in the most spiritistic of systems. Even the bodyless dead must have a living body for a medium of their manifestation; nor can any event of heaven or hell make sense except by way of bodily reference.”
“All conventional philosophies assume the existence of a real world — a reality apart from knowers and their knowing — although not all indulge themselves in speculations concerning ontological matters.
