Swedenborg maintains that il spirit, possessing
the fom and pervadingth entire human system that
the spirit possesses eyes, nose, hands mouth,
limb. and feet aud that while in the body, she body
s simply piece of mechanism by which the sprt
operates on material things, an through the medium
of which it receives impressions from external objects;
that the spirit may be separate even in this life, from
the body, and almost unconscious Of its existence;
that when such u the case, the body retains animal
life but not the powers Of action and when the spirit
n 10 separated from the bOoy, 1t has full power to see
and couver-e at will with dsembOdied spirits; and
that at death the spirit is only separated and freed
fom the body the butterfly is freed from the bonds
which have enveloped IL and that in leaving the body
at that time the spirit unconscious of the separa
tion as when separated at any other time "a IN a
