But how Matter should operate on a Spirit, or produce any idea in it, is what no philosopher Cameron Diaz will pretend to explain; it is therefore evident there can be no use of Matter in natural philosophy.. If we consider it, the objection proposed in sect. 45 will not be found reasonably charged on the principles we have premised, so as in truth to make any objection at all against our Cameron Diaz pic notions.. For the Schoolmen, though they acknowledge the existence of Matter, and that the whole mundane fabric is framed out of it, are nevertheless Cameron Diaz naked of opinion that it cannot subsist without the divine conservation, which by them is expounded to be a continual creation.. So that when I consider the two parts or branches which Cameron Diaz poster make the signification of the words material substance, I am convinced there is no distinct meaning annexed to them.. For example, when a schoolman Cameron Diaz topless tells me "Aristotle hath said it," all I conceive he means by it is to dispose me to embrace his opinion with the deference and submission which custom has annexed to that name.. That what I see, hear, and feel Cameron Diaz panties doth exist, that is to say, is perceived by me, I no more doubt than I do of my own being.. Whether others have this wonderful faculty of abstracting their ideas, they best can tell: for myself, I find indeed I have a Cameron Diaz upskirt faculty of imagining, or representing to myself, the ideas of those particular things I have perceived, and of variously compounding and dividing them.. The ideas we have of these they acknowledge not to be the resemblances of anything existing without the mind, or unperceived, but they will have our ideas of the primary qualities to be patterns or images of things which exist without the mind, in an unthinking substance which they Cameron Diaz nue call Matter.. But I shall explain my meaning;- A human spirit or person is Cameron Diaz nude free not perceived by sense, as not being an idea; when therefore we see the colour, size, figure, and motions of a man, we perceive only certain sensations or ideas excited in our own minds; and these being exhibited to our view in sundry distinct collections, serve to mark out unto us the existence of finite and created spirits like ourselves.. But, for the fuller clearing of this point, it may be worth while to consider how it is Cameron Diaz sexy picture that we perceive distance and things placed at a distance by sight.. A man in a ship may be said to be quiescent with relation to the sides of the vessel, Cameron Diaz hot and yet move with relation to the land.. Upon the whole, I am inclined to think that the far greater part, if Cameron Diaz fake not all, of those difficulties which have hitherto amused philosophers, and blocked up the way to knowledge, are entirely owing to ourselves- that we have first raised a dust and then complain we cannot see.. It is only implied that whatever particular motion I consider, whether it be swift or slow, perpendicular, horizontal, or oblique, or in whatever object, the axiom concerning Cameron Diaz porn it holds equally true.. But it is CameronDiazfa5 evident from what we have already shown, that extension, figure, and motion are only ideas existing in the mind, and that an idea can be like nothing but another idea, and that consequently neither they nor their archetypes can exist in an unperceiving substance.. A man may well understand natural signs without knowing their analogy, or being able Cameron Diaz to say by what rule a thing is so or so.. The farther we go, we shall only Cameron Diaz pic lose ourselves the more irrecoverably, and be the deeper entangled in difficulties and mistakes.. In order therefore to fix their notions they seem to conceive the corporeal world as finite, Cameron Diaz naked and the utmost unmoved walls or shell thereof to be the place whereby they estimate true motions.. And it had been well if the ill effects of that doctrine were confined to Cameron Diaz poster those only who make the most avowed profession of it.. It is only implied that whatever Cameron Diaz topless particular motion I consider, whether it be swift or slow, perpendicular, horizontal, or oblique, or in whatever object, the axiom concerning it holds equally true.. And this at the bottom is no longer contending for the Cameron Diaz panties thing, but for the name.. It will, I doubt not, be objected that the slow and gradual methods observed in the production of natural things do not seem to have for their cause the immediate hand of an Almighty Cameron Diaz upskirt Agent.. For, motion being only an idea, it follows that if it be not perceived it exists not; but the motion of the earth Cameron Diaz nue is not perceived by sense.. This is what some hold; but, so far as I can see, the words will, soul, spirit, do not stand for different ideas, or, in truth, for any Cameron Diaz nude free idea at all, but for something which is very different from ideas, and which, being an agent, cannot be like unto, or represented by, any idea whatsoever.. For how can it be known that Cameron Diaz sexy picture the things which are perceived are conformable to those which are not perceived, or exist without the mind?. Such I take this important one to be, viz., that all the choir of heaven and furniture of the earth, in a word all those bodies which compose the mighty frame of the world, have not any subsistence without a mind, that their being is to be perceived or known; that consequently so long as they are not actually perceived by me, or do not exist in my mind or that of any other created spirit, they must either have no existence at all, or else subsist in the mind of some Eternal Spirit- it Cameron Diaz hot being perfectly unintelligible, and involving all the absurdity of abstraction, to attribute to any single part of them an existence independent of a spirit.. What Cameron Diaz fake must we think of Moses' rod? was it not really turned into a serpent; or was there only a change of ideas in the minds of the spectators?. If we consider it, the objection proposed in sect. 45 will not be found reasonably charged on the principles we have premised, so as in truth to make any objection at all against Cameron Diaz porn our notions.. are taken in any sense conceivable, that is, for ideas, then to say a finite quantity or extension consists of parts infinite in number is CameronDiazfa5 so manifest a contradiction, that every one at first sight acknowledges it to be so; and it is impossible it should ever gain the assent of any reasonable creature who is not brought to it by gentle and slow degrees, as a converted Gentile to the belief of transubstantiation.. Besides, the communicating of ideas marked by words is not the chief and only end of language, as Cameron Diaz is commonly supposed.. But a philosopher, whose thoughts take in a larger compass of nature, having observed a certain similitude of appearances, as well in the heavens as the Cameron Diaz pic earth, that argue innumerable bodies to have a mutual tendency towards each other, which he denotes by the general name "attraction," whatever can be reduced to that he thinks justly accounted for.. It is worth while to reflect a little on the motives which induced men to suppose the existence of material substance; that so having observed the gradual ceasing and expiration of those motives or reasons, we may proportionably withdraw the assent that was grounded Cameron Diaz naked on them.. And, by Cameron Diaz poster the same reason, you may say there is an inert thoughtless substance without accidents which is the occasion of our ideas.. Again, the things perceived by sense may be termed external, with regard to their origin- in Cameron Diaz topless that they are not generated from within by the mind itself, but imprinted by a Spirit distinct from that which perceives them.. What bickerings and controversies, and what a learned dust have been Cameron Diaz panties raised about those matters, and what mighty advantage has been from thence derived to mankind, are things at this day too clearly known to need being insisted on.. Place he defines to be that Cameron Diaz upskirt part of space which is occupied by any body; and according as the space is absolute or relative so also is the place.. When we do our utmost Cameron Diaz nue to conceive the existence of external bodies, we are all the while only contemplating our own ideas.. I must therefore be a substance; but it has been shewn that there is no corporeal or material substance: it remains therefore that the cause of Cameron Diaz nude free ideas is an incorporeal active substance or Spirit.. But this doth not concern the truth of the proposition, which in other words is no more Cameron Diaz sexy picture than to say, we are fed and clothed with those things which we perceive immediately by our senses.. It is very obvious, upon the least inquiry into our thoughts, to know whether it is possible for us to Cameron Diaz hot understand what is meant by the absolute existence of sensible objects in themselves, or without the mind.. As for the mixture of pain or uneasiness which is in the world, pursuant to the general laws of nature, and the actions of finite, imperfect spirits, this, in the state we are in at present, is indispensably necessary to Cameron Diaz fake our well-being.. The farther we go, we shall Cameron Diaz porn only lose ourselves the more irrecoverably, and be the deeper entangled in difficulties and mistakes.. If it be said that this is only quarreling at a word, and that, since the immediately significations of other names are by common consent called ideas, no reason can CameronDiazfa5 be assigned why that which is signified by the name spirit or soul may not partake in the same appellation..
