All activity from thought
Anatomy describes muscular action as produced by
mind in one instance and not in another. Such errors
beset every material theory, in which one
statement contradicts another over and over
again. It is related that Sir Humphry Davy once ap-
parently cured a case of paralysis simply by introducing
a thermometer into the patient's mouth. This he did
merely to ascertain the temperature of the patient's body;
but the sick man supposed this ceremony was intended
to heal him, and he recovered accordingly. Such a fact
illustrates our theories.
