14
Human reason is not adequate for the task, and our philosophies tend to mislead us,
15
because our mortal bodies weigh our souls down. The body is a temporary structure made of earth, a burden to the active mind.
16
All we can do is make guesses about things on earth; we must struggle to learn about things that are close to us. Who, then, can ever hope to understand heavenly things?
