(35.) How are such movements produced consistently with <strong>the</strong>law that action and reaction are equal and contrary ?Ans.Gravity and vis incrtiac being neutralized, <strong>the</strong> physical law <strong>of</strong> actionand reaction docs not prevail against <strong>the</strong> <strong>spirit</strong> volition.
