With its divine proof, Science reverses the evidence of material sense. Every quality and condition of mortality 215:24 is lost, swallowed up in immortality. Mortal man is the antipode of immortal man in origin, in existence, and in his relation to God. Faith of Socrates 215:27 Because he understood the superiority and immor- tality of good, Socrates feared not the hemlock poison. Even the faith of his philosophy spurned phys- 215:30 ical timidity. Having sought man's spiritual state, he recognized the immortality of man. The igno- rance and malice of the age would have killed the vener- 216:1 able philosopher because of his faith in Soul and his in- difference to the body. The serpent of error 216:3 Who shall say that man is alive to-day, but may be dead to-morrow? What has touched Life, God, to such strange issues? Here theories cease, and Sci- 216:6 ence unveils the mystery and solves the prob- lem of man. Error bites the heel of truth, but cannot kill truth. Truth bruises the head of error - destroys error. 216:9 Spirituality lays open siege to materialism. On which side are we fighting? Servants and masters The understanding that the Ego is Mind, and that 216:12 there is but one Mind or intelligence, begins at once to destroy the errors of mortal sense and to supply the truth of immortal sense. This understand- 216:15 ing makes the body harmonious; it makes the nerves, bones, brain, etc., servants, instead of masters. If man is governed by the law of divine Mind, his body is in sub- 216:18 mission to everlasting Life and Truth and Love. The great mistake of mortals is to suppose that man, God's image and likeness, is both matter and Spirit, both good 216:21 and evil. If the decision were left to the corporeal senses, evil would appear to be the master of good, and sickness to 216:24 be the rule of existence, while health would seem the exception, death the inevitable, and life a paradox. Paul asked: "What concord hath Christ with Belial?" (2 Cor- 216:27 inthians vi. 15.) Personal identity When you say, "Man's body is material," I say with Paul: Be "willing rather to be absent from the body, 216:30 and to be present with the Lord." Give up your material belief of mind in matter, and have but one Mind, even God; for this Mind forms its 217:1 own likeness. The loss of man's identity through the understanding which Science confers is impossible; and 217:3 the notion of such a possibility is more absurd than to conclude that individual musical tones are lost in the origin of harmony.
