227:3 I saw that the law of mortal belief included all error, and that, even as oppressive laws are disputed and mor- tals are taught their right to freedom, so the 227:6 claims of the enslaving senses must be de- nied and superseded. The law of the divine Mind must end human bondage, or mortals will continue unaware 227:9 of man's inalienable rights and in subjection to hope- less slavery, because some public teachers permit an ignorance of divine power, - an ignorance that 227:12 is the foundation of continued bondage and of human suffering. Native freedom Discerning the rights of man, we cannot fail to fore- 227:15 see the doom of all oppression. Slavery is not the legiti- mate state of man. God made man free. Paul said, "I was free born." All men should 227:18 be free. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is lib- erty." Love and Truth make free, but evil and error lead into captivity. Standard of liberty 227:21 Christian Science raises the standard of liberty and cries: "Follow me! Escape from the bondage of sick- ness, sin, and death!" Jesus marked out the 227:24 way. Citizens of the world, accept the "glori- ous liberty of the children of God," and be free! This is your divine right. The illusion of material sense, not 227:27 divine law, has bound you, entangled your free limbs, crippled your capacities, enfeebled your body, and de- faced the tablet of your being. 227:30 If God had instituted material laws to govern man, disobedience to which would have made man ill, Jesus would not have disregarded those laws by healing in 228:1 direct opposition to them and in defiance of all material conditions. No fleshly heredity 228:3 The transmission of disease or of certain idiosyncra- sies of mortal mind would be impossible if this great fact of being were learned, - namely, that nothing 228:6 inharmonious can enter being, for Life /is/ God. Heredity is a prolific subject for mortal belief to pin the- ories upon; but if we learn that nothing is real but the 228:9 right, we shall have no dangerous inheritances, and fleshly ills will disappear. God-given dominion The enslavement of man is not legitimate. It will 228:12 cease when man enters into his heritage of freedom, his God-given dominion over the material senses. Mortals will some day assert their freedom in 228:15 the name of Almighty God. Then they will control their own bodies through the understanding of divine Science. Dropping their present beliefs, they will recognize har- 228:18 mony as the spiritual reality and discord as the material unreality.
