without understanding Truth, when God is Truth; and suppose we live without righteousness, when God is Life. And what is the result? It is this, that we have no Principle that is understood, to save and to heal us, and get rid of sin, sickness, and death, only through a belief, therefore, they still cling to mortal man; and he will remain mortal until this belief yields to the understanding of God that destroys all belief and establishes the foundations of science. The opposite of Truth is the error that saith infinite Life is in a finite form. This error constitutes a mortal thought, and names that thought mortal man, which [ 64 ] thought and so-called man are at the mercy of error, sin, sickness, and death. Then, in order to hold on to itself a little longer, it would resurrect from this mortal error the immortal Truth of being. Thus beginning with dust, returning to dust, and resurrecting from dust, man, who was and is the spiritual and eternal likeness of God. But science, undisturbed by this jargon, is revealing Life as Spirit; and Spirit, never passing into or out of man and its own formations, but the infinite Mind that cannot be finite or compressed, for it is the One and great power of the universe and of man. The mighty arm would be crippled if Mind was made subject to matter, the figurative tree of knowledge made a pigmy race of “gods.”
