Eyes Blind To Spirit
World, Says Lodge
Weston-Super-Mare, England—Hu
man eyes are mercifully closed to the
realities of the spirit world, Sir Oliver
Lodge told the National Free Church
Council, else people should be over
whelmed.
"We would have no time for our
daily work,” the spiritualist said,
"were we not encased with matter and
our eyes closed.”
Sir Oliver said science was gradual
ly beginning to recognize the exist
ence, not of a spiritual world, neces
sarily, but of a universe which had no
appeal to the senses and was not ma
terial.
"I hold that life exists in space and
utilizes matter for its own purposes
and operates matter, so that the ma
terial body does certain things.
"Life and the mind do not stop
when the machine has stopped. I do
not suppose it began when the ma
chine began. Every real thing is per
petual,” he said.
