Keely
"Like fire, which is a spiritual order of vibration, spirit is latent in all matter. One might as well try to operate a steam engine without its boiler as to give motion to matter against the conditions imposed by nature, or to propose a new method of controlling the action of our physical organisms (other than through the sympathetic transfer of our mental forces) as an improvement on the one instituted by the Almighty." [Newton of the Mind]
