The spirit desires to remain with its body, because, without the organic instruments of that body, it can neither act, nor feel anything.

Every soul that has perception is, though in different times and in different organs of sense and motion, still the same indivisible person.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

The body cannot be cured without regard for the soul.

Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.

Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the 'windows of the soul.'
