Several individuals jumped up, whirled round, and sat down again.—
I then asked each in turn to name some object, and tell me by which of their senses they could perceive it; and by how many?
This they did readily again and again. They could see, and smell, and touch, and taste a rose, but they could not hear it. So of other things.
I then said, "I have a thought; do you know what it is?"
"No."
"Cannot you see, or hear, or smell, or touch, or taste my thought?"
"No."
"Now each one of you think of some object, but do not speak till I ask you for your thought."
"Can you see your thought?"
Some answered "No," others "Yes."
