And if around the natural body there exist a sphere by which the natural senses may determine its quality of health or impurity, in like manner is there around the spiritual body a sphere of its quality, that may be discerned by the spiritual senses.

And now come back to the philosophy of first impressions, a matter so little understood by the world.

These first impressions are rarely at fault, and why?
Because the spiritual quality is at once discerned by the spiritual sense.

But, as this kind of perception does not fall into the region of thought, it is little heeded by the many.

Some, in all times, have observed it more closely than others, and we have proverbs that could only have originated from such observation.
