Paragraph 4: "And while the body is confined to one planet, along which it creeps with pain and difficulty; the thought can in an instant transport us into the most distant regions of the universe; or even beyond the universe, into the unbounded chaos, where nature is supposed to lie in total confusion."
Hume is saying here that the mind has no limits. People in his time were kept on Earth and no where else, but he believed that our thoughts and ideas could take us anywhere we wanted to go. Of course, his statements about this are proven to be correct because some people have traveled to other places other than Earth. I think that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it.
