dynamic, or spiritual, entity, with a material organism, 

 which it animates and keeps alive for a brief period, in 

 virtue of the play of sympathetic innervation alone in its 

 earliest stages, but ultimately, in conjunction with systemic 

 innervation, when the attributes of intelligence and moral 

 sense become superadded and evolved into more or less 

 perfection of development, under which all the best 

 attributes of humanity appear and fructify, when the 

 inevitable dissolution of the bonds between substance and 

 energy takes place, and new resolutions become effected, 

 whereby the reign of evolutionary law and progress are 

 maintained, and everlasting existence secured. Every 

 human body thus contains two beings, separable only 

 by death, and each possessing an individuality, the one 

 terminable in its character and individuality by death, and 

 the other continuous in its individuality, unitable to other 

 dynamic media, and capable of development ad infinitum^ 

 aut vitam aut cu/pam, and, it may be, retrogression and 

 reversion. 



The material body is innervated and maintained mainly 

 by the sympathetic nervous system. We say mainly, 

 because the innervation is dual, and the immaterial, or 

 dynamic, portion is innervated by the systemic nervous 

 system, that is, so far as a dynamic body can be said to be 

 innervated, and when innervation ceases, new affinities 

 must determine the character of the future existence of 

 the two portions, so soon as their dissolution becomes 

 effected.
