beings know one another? By their bounding solids. In other words, my soul speaks to yours through the medium of our minds and bodies. "That is the common phrase? Quite so; but I am using it in an absolute physical sense. A line can only be aware of another line at a point of contact; a plane of another plane at the line where they cut; a cube of another cube at the surface common to both; and a soul of another soul where their ideas are in conjunction.
