"The third presupposition of the refraction theory of illumination holds that an individuated mind, a mind with a distinct identity, is always necessarily embodied, either in a physical or a transphysical vehicle.

5.1 The assumption here is that without bodies, physical or transphysical, there is only Mind but no distinct minds. A bodily vehicle provides the means of individuation for a mind.

5.2 It is only because we have bodies of which we have unique proprioceptive awareness, and which provide us with a unique perspective on the world, that we learn to distinguish our own experiences from those of other people, and thereby acquire the sense of our own identity. This assertion has to be taken in connection with 4.2.

5.3 Any intelligible notion of surviving physical death, if it is to be survival of the same person, involves the notion of a transphysical body and a transphysical realm for it to inhabit.

5.3.1 But if the conditions of personal identity are to be continuous across the divide of physical death, then there must be some transphysical vehicle which is (1) interwoven with the physical vehicle during physical existence, but (2) survives the death of the physical vehicle, and (3) is the non-physical foundation or storage place of memories acquired during physical existence.

5.3.2 Thus we have the, important hypothesis that man is a doubly embodied being; embodied, that is, both at a physical level and at a fairly dense or gross transphysical level.

5.3.3 Hence the possibility of intermental fields at a transphysical level both between human minds and other human minds, and between human minds and minds outside physical existence.

5.4 A further postulate is that any kind of intermental transaction between two persons necessarily involves some kind of interaction between the vehicles of those two persons.

5.4.1 This is because transmission of some determinate content or impact presupposes some determinate configuration of the intervening medium. For those outside physical existence, such interaction, especially in more telepathic transactions, may occur at a very subtle level of the transphysical; although of course it may also involve more obvious forms of transphysical interaction equivalents of speech, gesture and so on.

5.4.2 Intermental transaction between humans may involve only transphysic al mediation or interaction, as in interhuman ESP. But 'if it involves physical interaction (via speech, gesture, touch, sight, etc.) then it always and also involves transphysical interaction, interwoven with the former..

5.4..3 Intermental transaction between a human mind and a mind outside physical existence, as inilluminism, involves an interaction between the more refined transphysical at one end and the more gross transphysical-♥♥♥-physical at the other.

5.5 Summarising these presuppositions with respect to the particular kind of inspiration I wish to consider here, we have the following:

5.5.1 Illuminism involves a transaction between minds embodied in a more refined transphysical dimension of being, and minds embodied in a more gross transphysical-♥♥♥-physical dimension of being.

5.5.2 This transaction has as its necessary condition a transmission from refined transphysical to near physical and physical states. Crudely put, the illumination proceeds from and through a more rarefied medium to and through a more dense medium.

5.5.3 I am now in a position to state- the refraction theory of illumination, with special reference to illuminism."
