expertus dubitas animas percurrere visu abdita corporeis oculis, cum saepe quietis rore soporatis cernat mens viva remotos distantesque locos, aciem per rura, per astra, per maria intendens? nec enim se segregat ipsa ante obitum vivis ex artubus aut fugit exul sanguinis et carnis penetralia seque medullis exuit abductamve abigit de pectore vitam, viscerea sed sede manens speculatur acutis omnia luminibus et, qua circumtulit acrem naturae levis intuitum nullo obice rerum disclusa, ante oculos subiectum prospicit orbem atque orbis sub mole situm sordens elementum.
Do you doubt that souls traverse with their vision things hidden from bodily eyes, when you know by experience how many a time, when we are sunk in unconsciousness by the dew of sleep, the lively mind sees places far away and far sundered, directing its eyes over fields and stars and seas? For it does not separate itself before death from the living members, nor banish itself from its home within the flesh and blood, withdrawing from our inmost parts and reaving the life from our breast; but while remaining in its fleshly abode it explores all things with its keen sight, and turning hither and thither the sharp gaze of its subtle nature, not shut off by any barrier of material things, it views the world that lies before its eyes, and even the dirty earth down in the worlds great mass.
