"In wakefulness the eye of man sees at the utmost... about four miles, because through the instrumentality of the body, the power of the spirit is thus determined; but with the inner sight and the mental eyes it sees America, and it can perceive that which is there, and discover the conditions of things... Therefore it is evident that this spirit is different from the body, and that the bird is different from the cage, and that the power and penetration of the spirit is stronger without the intermediary of the body." (Bwf 327)
(47:5)
