It should no longer be said in Israel that "the fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set 211:21 on edge." Sympathy with error should disappear. The transfer of the thoughts of one erring mind to another, Science renders impossible. Nerves painless 211:24 If it is true that nerves have sensation, that matter has intelligence, that the material organism causes the eyes to see and the ears to hear, then, when the body 211:27 is dematerialized, these faculties must be lost, for their immortality is not in Spirit; whereas the fact is that only through dematerialization and spiritualiza- 211:30 tion of thought can these faculties be conceived of as immortal. Nerves are not the source of pain or pleasure. We 212:1 suffer or enjoy in our dreams, but this pain or pleasure is not communicated through a nerve. A tooth which has 212:3 been extracted sometimes aches again in belief, and the pain seems to be in its old place. A limb which has been amputated has continued in belief to pain the owner. If 212:6 the sensation of pain in the limb can return, can be pro- longed, why cannot the limb reappear? Why need pain, rather than pleasure, come to this mor- 212:9 tal sense? Because the memory of pain is more vivid than the memory of pleasure. I have seen an unwitting attempt to scratch the end of a finger which had been cut 212:12 off for months. When the nerve is gone, which we say was the occasion of pain, and the pain still remains, it proves sensation to be in the mortal mind, not in matter. 212:15 Reverse the process; take away this so-called mind instead of a piece of the flesh, and the nerves have no sensation. Human falsities Mortals have a modus of their own, undirected and un- 212:18 sustained by God. They produce a rose through seed and soil, and bring the rose into contact with the olfactory nerves that they may smell it. In 212:21 legerdemain and credulous frenzy, mortals believe that unseen spirits produce the flowers. God alone makes and clothes the lilies of the field, and this He does by 212:24 means of Mind, not matter. No miracles in Mind-methods
