The soul is kept in our body by the magnetism of our blood. When a
person goes into a trance there is an embargo on the blood and the
soul can leave the spark cells of the nerve substance of the brain
and occupy a spiritual body or electrical vapor in the atmosphere
or ether. During sleep or failing powers of the mind, the soul is
drowned out by matter, the permanent spiritual center of the spark
is overflowed with matter and consciousness is temporarily turned
to motion. Spirit always, in any amount, has the attributes of
intelligence and power; the ether transmits intelligences.
