Ocorre o mesmo com o pensamento. Em essÃªncia, o pensamento certamente nÃ£o Ã© um processo cerebral, mas sem o suporte do cÃ©rebro ele nÃ£o poderia ter seu curso terrestre. Ã€ luz dessa comparaÃ§Ã£o, obtÃ©m-se uma concepÃ§Ã£o correta da espiritualidade, bem como das limitaÃ§Ãµes fÃsicas do pensamento humano. Em suma, meus queridos amigos, aqui na vida terrena nÃ£o hÃ¡ nada no homem que nÃ£o dependa do corpo como sustento. Carregamos nossos Ã³rgÃ£os dentro do corpo - pulmÃ£o, coraÃ§Ã£o, cÃ©rebro e assim por diante. Com saÃºde normal, nÃ£o temos percepÃ§Ã£o consciente de nossos Ã³rgÃ£os internos. NÃ³s os percebemos apenas quando doentes, e ainda assim de maneira muito imperfeita. Nunca podemos afirmar que possuÃmos conhecimento de um Ã³rgÃ£o por lhe termos olhado diretamente, a menos que estejamos estudando anatomia â€“ mas aÃ nÃ£o estamos estudando um Ã³rgÃ£o vivo. Nunca podemos dizer que temos a mesma visÃ£o de um Ã³rgÃ£o interno que temos de um objeto externo. Ã‰ caracterÃstico da vida terrena nÃ£o conhecermos o interior de nosso corpo por meio da consciÃªncia comum. Ainda menos um homem conhece do que ele geralmente considera de maior valor para sua existÃªncia corporal â€“ o interior de sua cabeÃ§a. Pois quando ele comeÃ§a a saber alguma coisa a seu respeito, via de regra, o conhecimento se mostra deveras desagradÃ¡vel â€“ dor de cabeÃ§a e tudo o que a acompanha.
