			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last time, I alluded, in a footnote, to an &#8220;elsewhere&#8221; wherein William Blake clarifies his mind/body dualism position.  I have since been cadged by the masses into both clarifying myself and citing my sources.  This quote comes from <em>The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, plate IV </em>(which I linked to in my previous post, before getting into the guts of the interpretation):</p>
<blockquote><p>All Bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors.</p>
<dl>
<dd>1. That Man has two real existing principles Viz: a Body &amp; a Soul.</dd>
<dd>2. That Energy, call&#8217;d Evil, is alone from the Body, &amp; that Reason, call&#8217;d Good, is alone from the Soul.</dd>
<dd>3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.</dd>
</dl>
<p>But the following Contraries to these are True</p>
<dl>
<dd>1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that call&#8217;d Body is a portion of Soul discern&#8217;d by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.</dd>
<dd>2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.</dd>
<dd>3. Energy is Eternal Delight.</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<p>You can find the <a title="Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake" href="http://www.gailgastfield.com/mhh/mhh.html" target="_blank">full text of the work here</a>.  I think Blake&#8217;s position here augments my previous discussion without much need for further explanation and analysis</p>
