The power of interpreting the visual signs of the Divine language of creation, and translating them into their ideas, is a spiritual instinct, an intuitive perception, or an inspiration. It is partly acquired, or at least improved, by experience. As it was remarked in the previous chapter, all that we know of an external world is our own sensations. Hence J. S. Mill calls the outward world " a permanent possibility of sensation." Ideas are the only objects of perception and of knowledge, and these are continually presented to the mind by the sensible world which perpetually goes forth from God, and represents the thoughts of the Divine Mind. Our perception of these ideas, which we project into space and give to them an apparent externeity, is equivalent to a constant act of creation by the Divine Being. There may be a far-reaching and profound truth in the theory of Malebranche, that we see all things in God, or by virtue of the union of the human soul with the Infinite Mind. We do not perceive an external world ; what the mind sees — and the body is cognizant of nothing — is within itself, that is, we have perception only of ideas that are present to the soul. Persons have been known to medical science who have come into the world with congenital cataract, and who in after life have been restored to sight. At first, they have not the least conception of the distance or externality of objects. Everything seems to touch the eyes, or in reality to be in the mind. This may not be so far from the truth. In the spiritual philosophy of Swedenborg it is taught that, in the other life, the scenery in the midst of which we live and move is a constant creation from ourselves, and corresponds to our inward states. It is a projecting outward of what is really within ourselves, and which is made to represent it. Its outness is only apparent. Nearness and remoteness are only feelings of sympathy or antipathy. Locomotion through space, or what appears to be such, is effected by a change of state, or, as it is called in the Scriptures, being carried away in the spirit. In that realm of life all outward things are the counterpart, the visible exhibition, of things in ourselves, and have life only so far as they are correspondences. In this world there is an inherent tendency, a spontaneous impulse, to express by some outward manifestation our internal states; there the expression is more complete, and we live in a world and in the midst of scenery created from our interior states of thought and feeling.
