Translation 1

One of our biggest superstitions is the separation of the mind from the body. This does not mean that we should admit that we are just a body, nothing more; means that we have to create a completely new idea about the body. Because if the body is separate from the mind, then it is nothing more than a kind of dust pod. However, if it is inseparable from the mind, the body already means something completely different, and we do not yet have a suitable word to name a spiritual and material world at the same time.

Translation 2
A legnagyobb babonáink egyike az elme különválasztása a testtől. Ez nem azt jelenti, hogy be kellene ismernünk: csak test vagyunk, semmi több; azt jelenti, hogy egészen új elképzelést kell alkotnunk a testről. Mert ha a test külön való az elmétől, akkor az nem más, csak amolyan porhüvely. Ha azonban elválaszthatatlan az elmétől, a test már egészen mást jelent, és még nincs megfelelő szavunk egy egyszerre szellemi és anyagi világ megnevezésére.
