These senses are the foundation of those relations 

 vhich the anirnaMjody bears to terrestrial bodies. The 

 seat of (he sou!, or the little ethereal machine that con- 

 stitutes it, has parts corresponding with the grosser 

 senses, since it receives motions from thence, and trans- 

 mits them to the soul. These parts, by the opening of 

 the germ, will acquire a degree or perfection incom- 

 patible with the present staie or man. But this germ 

 may like wise contain vuthin it new senses, which will 

 disclose themselves at the same instant, and by mut'ti- 

 plyiwg in an almost infinite degree the relations of 

 man to the universe, will a ;^raudize his sphere, and 

 render it equal to that of -superior intelligences. 



An organized b<.dy, for^d of element? analogous to 

 those of light, will, we may reasonably suppose, stand 

 in need of no repair. The spiritual body will preserve 

 itself by the mere energy of its mechanism. 



And if light or etluer do not gravitate at all, man in 

 a glorified state will be enabled to transport himself 

 at pleasure into every point of space, and viil fly from 

 planet to planet, with the swiftness of li^^iug. 



The senses, as they will then be brought into subjec- 

 tion to the soul, will :io longer rr,!e over her. Sepa- 

 rated for evei from Jit sh and blood, there will remain in 

 her none of those earthly affections which resulted from 

 them. Transported into the regions of light, the hu- 

 man understanding \vill present no ideas to the. will but 

 those of the highest good. It will then have no other 

 than lawful desires, and God will be their constant and 

 ultimate end. It will love him from gratitude ; fear 

 him from a principle of lo^e ; cind will adore him as 

 the SUPREMLY AMIABLE BgiNG, and as the eternal 

 source of life, perfection, and happiness.
