If God were understood instead of being merely be- lieved, this understanding would establish health. The 203:9 accusation of the rabbis, "He made himself the Son of God," was really the justification of Jesus, for to the Christian the only true 203:12 spirit is Godlike. This thought incites to a more exalted worship and self-abnegation. Spiritual perception brings out the possibilities of being, destroys reliance on aught 203:15 but God, and so makes man the image of his Maker in deed and in truth. Suicide and sin We are prone to believe either in more than one Su- 203:18 preme Ruler or in some power less than God. We im- agine that Mind can be imprisoned in a sensuous body. When the material body has gone to ruin, when evil has 203:21 overtaxed the belief of life in matter and destroyed it, then mortals believe that the deathless Principle, or Soul, escapes from matter and lives on; but this is not 203:24 true. Death is not a stepping-stone to life, immortality, and bliss. The so-called sinner is a suicide. Sin kills the sinner and will continue to kill 203:27 him so long as he sins. The foam and fury of illegiti- mate living and of fearful and doleful dying should disappear on the shore of time; then the waves of sin, 203:30 sorrow, and death beat in vain. God, divine good, does not kill a man in order to give him eternal Life, for God alone is man's life. God is at 204:1 once the centre and circumference of being. It is evil that dies; good dies not. Spirit the only intelligence and substance 204:3 All forms of error support the false conclusions that there is more than one Life; that material history is as real and living as spiritual history; that mortal 204:6 error is as conclusively mental as immortal Truth; and that there are two separate, an- tagonistic entities and beings, two powers, - namely, 204:9 Spirit and matter, - resulting in a third person (mortal man) who carries out the delusions of sin, sickness, and death. 204:12 The first power is admitted to be good, an intelligence or Mind called God. The so-called second power, evil, is the unlikeness of good. It cannot therefore be mind, though 204:15 so called. The third power, mortal man, is a supposed mixture of the first and second antagonistic powers, in- telligence and non-intelligence, of Spirit and matter. Unscientific theories 204:18 Such theories are evidently erroneous. They can never stand the test of Science. Judging them by their fruits, they are corrupt. When will the ages under- 204:21 stand the Ego, and realize only one God, one Mind or intelligence?
