Swami Vivekananda's Speech in Chicago The World's Parliament of Religions WELCOME ADDRESS - Chicago, Sept 11, 1893 website: http://www.myspace.com/swami_ji "To give another example; we can transmit electric energy to any part of the world, but we have to send it through wires. The nature, however, can send enormous quantities of electricity without any wire. Why wouldn't we be able to do the same? We can send mental electricity anywhere. What we call spirit, in a great measure is the same as electricity. It is clear that the nerves fluid contains a certain quantity of electricity, as it is polarized and has all qualities of electricity. Now we can send our mental electricity only through these nerves channels. Why wouldn't we be able to send it without this aid? Yogis say that this is quite possible and realizable, and that when you succeed in doing it, you will be able to do it throughout the whole Universe. You will be able to act anywhere, with any body, without any aid of nervous system.
