However, no two people see the external world in exactly the same way. To every separate person a thing is what he thinks it is - in other words, not a thing, but a think.
And hence he must be invisible; for a spirit cannot be seen by the eye of man: nor is there any thing in this principle contradictory to reason or experience.

It's only possible to see people when one is able to see the world as others see it.
The proper study of mankind is man in his relation to his deity.
Man is a universe within himself.
