 Walt Whitman
This quote sets the main theme for the rest of the poem in the investigation of whether the body and soul are one in the same.
The narrator believes that the body does not house the soul, it is the soul.
If the body is the immortal soul, that would make the slavery practices of the South an ultimate and unforgivable sin, indicating that the narrator probably favors the Northern ways of doing things.

 I Sing the Body Electric. - A poem by Walt Whitman - American Poems
Be not ashamed, women—your privilege encloses the rest, and is the exit of the rest; You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
The female contains all qualities, and tempers them—she is in her place, and moves with perfect balance; She is all things duly veil’d—she is both passive and active; She is to conceive daughters as well as sons, and sons as well as daughters.
If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred, And the glory and sweet of a man, is the token of manhood untainted; And in man or woman, a clean, strong, firm-fibred body, is beautiful as the most beautiful face.

The body suit is meant to be an "intelligent, two-way communication interface"(installation), but they could have simply turned the suit on and off at random and I would have received as much information about the creature's state.
His vision for the future of such a body is that it could be a tool in the hands of other remote users, and that its physical and electrical systems could be mapped out to control other mechanical tools.
The possibility of electrical augmentation of the body and of having virtual bodies attached to our real bodies suggests the freedom to transgress the normal limits of the body; limits of time and space, of appearance and fixed gender, of a unitary self, of self and other.

 PunkROCKS.net CD Review - Since By Man - We Sing The Body Electric
Their ability to retain a fervent energy, be it a shotgun riff or a shimmering atmospheric echo, allows ‘We Sing The Body Electric’ to expand throughout and visit terrains most bands haven’t the balls to explore.
Through its entirety, the album spreads like venom to encapsulate the body, query the soul and shatter the mind, be it pure unabated aggression (“Push The Panic”), dark explosive, melodious conviction (“Death Of Decadence”) or contemplative redemption (“In Threes”, which brings to mind softer Poison The Well).
Both personal and ambiguous; brutal and sublime, ‘We Sing The Body Electric’ is an effort that provokes throughout, crushing the senses and broadening the boundaries of hardcore, without losing sight of the purpose that propels its disdain.

 Out In The Mountains : Arts & Entertainment - I Sing The Body Electric   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Yes, the idea of electricity is so rich in metaphor that I found myself almost drowning in the possibilities.
On the literal level, I was interested in what electricity is - this thing we can’t see but can move mountains, this thing we’re addicted to as a society and will probably destroy us in the end with our ever increasing appetite for more sources of nonrenewable power.
But of course, on the other level, there was this rich lode of metaphor about animal electricity and magnetism, and what makes two bodies attractive to each other, or repulse one another, positives and negatives, and the whole idea that electricity is all about transformation, and transforming raw material into power.

Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate, And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate, Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore.
Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore, And in the doubtful war, before he won The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town; His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine, And settled sure succession in his line, From whence the race of Alban fathers come, And the long glories of majestic Rome.

The body of a poem is ink on paper.
Whitman’s work ties the physical body to the soul of the universe – complete and undivided – where all parts, even the darkest, share “a place in the procession” of humankind.

 Twilight Zone: I Sing the Body Electric   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Bradbury also seems to affirm Whitman's view of the human being as more than singular, as containing "countless immortal lives with countless embodiments and enjoyments"; the Electrical Grandmother tells her charges that she is "all the people who thought of me and planned me and built me and set me running.
I am all the things they wanted to be." Oddly, though, the body of the Electrical Grandmother is of no importance whatever; her being is entirely "electric," and her "personality" lies entirely within her circuits.
The Grandmother is a bodiless "essence" who ultimately will join with other electrical beings to make up the "Family," a collection of wisdom and knowledge that is entirely independent of bodies.
