One primal cause There is but one primal cause. Therefore there can 207:21 be no effect from any other cause, and there can be no reality in aught which does not proceed from this great and only cause. Sin, sickness, dis- 207:24 ease, and death belong not to the Science of being. They are the errors, which presuppose the absence of Truth, Life, or Love. 207:27 The spiritual reality is the scientific fact in all things. The spiritual fact, repeated in the action of man and the whole universe, is harmonious and is the ideal of Truth. 207:30 Spiritual facts are not inverted; the opposite discord, which bears no resemblance to spirituality, is not real. The only evidence of this inversion is obtained from 208:1 suppositional error, which affords no proof of God, Spirit, or of the spiritual creation. Material sense de- 208:3 fines all things materially, and has a finite sense of the infinite. Seemingly independent authority The Scriptures say, "In Him we live, and move, and 208:6 have our being." What then is this seeming power, in- dependent of God, which causes disease and cures it? What is it but an error of belief, - 208:9 a law of mortal mind, wrong in every sense, embracing sin, sickness, and death? It is the very anti- pode of immortal Mind, of Truth, and of spiritual law. 208:12 It is not in accordance with the goodness of God's char- acter that He should make man sick, then leave man to heal himself; it is absurd to suppose that matter can both 208:15 cause and cure disease, or that Spirit, God, produces disease and leaves the remedy to matter. John Young of Edinburgh writes: "God is the father 208:18 of mind, and of nothing else." Such an utterance is "the voice of one crying in the wilderness" of human beliefs and preparing the way of Science. Let us learn 208:21 of the real and eternal, and prepare for the reign of Spirit, the kingdom of heaven, - the reign and rule of universal harmony, which cannot be lost nor remain 208:24 forever unseen. Sickness as only thought
