It makes it conceivable that apparently separate objects, eg, distinct people, are really physically united; that things apparently sundered by enormous distances of space are really quite...
Page 97 - And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him : and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
Page 117 - ... if this fourth dimension were to become a factor of our consciousness it is obvious that we should have means of knowledge which to the ordinary sense would appear simply miraculous. There is much apparently to suggest that the consciousness attained to by the Indian gnanis in their degree, and by hypnotic subjects in theirs is of this fourth-dimensional order.
Page 116 - ... vision always means a sense of light, so here is a sense of inward light, unconnected of course with the mortal eye, but bringing to the eye of the mind the impression that it sees...
Page 96 - They who by steadfast mind have become exempt from evil desire, and well trained in the teachings of Gautama ; they, having obtained the fruit of the fourth Path, and immersed themselves in that ambrosia, have received without price, and are in the enjoyment of Nirvana.
