I shall only observe that if at table all who were present should see, and smell, and taste, and drink wine, and find the effects of it, with me there could be no doubt of its reality; so that at bottom the scruple concerning real miracles has no place at all on ours, but only on the received principles, and consequently makes rather for than against what has been said. To set this matter in a yet clearer light, I shall observe that what has been objected in sect. But, if they are looked on as notes or images, referred to things or archetypes existing without the mind, then are we involved all in scepticism. Using NetDetective you can find everything about Helena Christianson. All things that exist, exist only in the mind, that is, they are purely notional. So likewise when we attempt to abstract extension and motion from all other qualities, and consider them by themselves, we presently lose sight of them, and run into great extravagances. Unity I know some will have to be a simple or uncompounded idea, accompanying all other ideas into the mind. And in this sense the sun that I see by day is the real sun, and that which I imagine by night is the idea of the former. Secondly, the reason why ideas are formed into machines, that is, artificial and regular combinations, is the same with that for combining letters into words. I might add, my lord, that the extraordinary favour and bounty you have been pleased to show towards our Society gave me hopes you would not be unwilling to countenance the studies of one of its members. Helena Christianson you can find here. I answer, all the unthinking objects of the mind agree in that they are entirely passive, and their existence consists only in being perceived; whereas a soul or spirit is an active being, whose existence consists, not in being perceived, but in perceiving ideas and thinking. It remains that we consider the objections which may possibly be made on the part of Religion. But, if by Nature is meant some being distinct from God, as well as from the laws of nature, and things perceived by sense, I must confess that word is to me an empty sound without any intelligible meaning annexed to it. Men have imagined they could frame abstract notions of the powers and acts of the mind, and consider them prescinded as well from the mind or spirit itself, as from their respective objects and effects. Fourthly, it will be objected that from the foregoing principles it follows things are every moment annihilated and created anew. But this business of real and imaginary has been already so plainly and fully explained, and so often referred to, and the difficulties about it are so easily answered from what has gone before, that it were an affront to the reader's understanding to resume the explication of it in its place. Helena Christianson information. Before we proceed any farther it is necessary we spend some time in answering objections which may probably be made against the principles we have hitherto laid down. That bodies should tend towards the centre of the earth is not thought strange, because it is what we perceive every moment of our lives. Suppose- what no one can deny possible- an intelligence without the help of external bodies, to be affected with the same train of sensations or ideas that you are, imprinted in the same order and with like vividness in his mind. But I believe nobody will say that what he means by the terms soul and substance is only some particular sort of idea or sensation. If so, why may not the Intelligence do it, without his being at the pains of making the movements and putting them together? Thus, when I demonstrate any proposition concerning triangles, it is to be supposed that I have in view the universal idea of a triangle; which ought not to be understood as if I could frame an idea of a triangle which was neither equilateral, nor scalenon, nor equicrural; but only that the particular triangle I consider, whether of this or that sort it matters not, doth equally stand for and represent all rectilinear triangles whatsoever, and is in that sense universal.
