...things generally. Goethe. A MAN'S worst difficulties begin when he is able to. do as he likes. Huxley. THE passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable. Tyndall. WK call this a Christian country, but the only offense we can never overlook is the forgiveness...

...says this, though in his Fragments of Science he, as quoted by Dr. James Martineau, had declared, " The passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable." But what is unthinkable, that is unrepresentable in imagination, which is all that the Professor seems...

...as ridiculous as converting space into time. Take the following quotation from Tyndall : — " But the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable. Granted that a definite thought, and a definite molecular action in the brain, occur simultaneously,...

...religion." Science does not even know how a blade of grass grows, or how it can grow. Says Tyndall : " The passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable. Were we able even to see and feel the very molecules of the brain, and follow all their motions, all...

...Tyndall, who spoke of matter containing " the promise and potency of life," says nevertheless that " the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable," and that " the chasm between the two classes remains intellectually impassable." (C) I come now to...

...I think, I love'; but how does consciousness infuse itself into the problem?" And he thus answers: "The passage from the physics of the brain to the...corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable.

Granted that a definite thought and a definite molecular action in the brain occur simultaneously,...

...These are truths too obvious for discussion. The best scientists frankly admit them. Says Tyndall : " The passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is inconceivable as the result of mechanics. The problem of the connection of body and soul is as insoluble...

...appearance of the Djin when Aladdin rubbed his lamp in the story." Tyndall says just the same thing: " The passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable." l As a matter of fact, we shall see later that the gulf between matter and mind is not so unbridgeable...
