A DUPLICATE “SET.”
“My doctrine is that life exists in space, that mind is a higher development of that,” said Sir Oliver Lodge in a recent speech, “and I presume that spirit is a higher development still, but they all exist in space. In this room, at the present moment, I suppose there are waves passing through from every capital in Europe, which if you had a set you could apprehend and tune-in to the station you wanted. But you must have the material instrument in order to explore tho universe. I want the parable of the wireless to be thoroughly grasped. It shows that things may exist in space of which we know nothing unloss we have the proper means for investigation. This body of mine is an index' or demonstration of me—of something which is not in matter at all, but in space. I believe I have an ether body as well. Tho matter body has been put on. It only lasts about a century and then you leave it behind, but you don’t leave yourself behind. Yourself goes on. Killing the body does not kill you. It spoils the mechanism and prevents you doing anything. You destroy the loudspeaker—but you might have a duplicate set.”
