It can have no sensation whatever, and in Mrs. Glover's system, this spiritual man, whose body is sensationless, is the only man that exists. Man, as we know him, a combination of brain, nerves, muscle, etc., is that false, hereditary image of physical life which we inherited from Adam. Along with our belief in this physical body, we have inherited a deeply-rooted conviction that this mythical body is capable of certain sensations, such as sight, hearing, etc., and is susceptible to the influences of the mythical physical conditions about it. This belief has given rise to other beliefs, and the result is that man has invented a very intricate and complicated system of physical life, giving names and attributes to various parts of his body, and clothing it and feeding it, in the belief that it requires clothes and food for comfort and nourishment. And, most remarkable of all, he has come to believe that his body can be sick, and can suffer from a derangement of its parts. Labouring under this delusion, man has imagined that, by administering certain remedies to his body, this mythical body will be pleased, and will often consent to get well.
