RICHARD: If you were to hold a hand up before the eyes, palm towards the face, and rotate it slowly through space (all the while considering that the very stuff the hand is comprised of is as old as the universe) whilst looking from the front of the eyes, as it were (and not through the eyes), it may very well become apparent that, as this flesh and blood body only, one is perfection personified … the perfection of the purity, welling in perpetuum mobilis, that the infinitude this material universe actually is. In short: this ambrosial paradise I refer to as this actual world has been no further away, all the while, than coming to your senses. RESPONDENT: Finally if you really are free from all the things you say then that is amazing.

Or, as the identity inhabiting this flesh
