self-evident fact that matter has no sensation; from the common human experience of the falsity of all material things; from the obvious fact that mortal mind is what suffers, feels, sees; since matter cannot suffer.
My conclusions are reached by allowing this evidence to multiply with mathematical certainty, and the lesser demonstration to prove the greater; as three multiplied by three, equalling nine, proves conclusively that three times three duodecillions will be, must be, nine duodecillions.
The irrational belief that pain is located in a limb which has been removed, when really the sensation is believed to be in the nerves, is an added proof of the the unreliability of physical testimony.

Electricity is not a vital fluid, but an element of mortal mind, — the thought-essence that forms the link between what is termed matter and mortal mind. Both are different strata of human belief. The grosser substratum is named matter. The more ethereal is called human mind, which is the nearer counterfeit of the immortal Mind, and hence the more accountable and sinful belief. Both are false presentations of facts, for the Immortal and mortal never touch.
