If we follow the command of our Master, "Take no 228:21 thought for your life," we shall never depend on bodily conditions, structure, or economy, but we shall be masters of the body, dictate its terms, and form and control it with 228:24 Truth. Priestly pride humbled There is no power apart from God. Omnipotence has all-power, and to acknowledge any other power is to dis- 228:27 honor God. The humble Nazarene overthrew the supposition that sin, sickness, and death have power. He proved them powerless. It should have 228:30 humbled the pride of the priests, when they saw the dem- onstration of Christianity excel the influence of their dead faith and ceremonies. 229:1 If Mind is not the master of sin, sickness, and death, they are immortal, for it is already proved that mat- 229:3 ter has not destroyed them, but is their basis and support. No union of opposites We should hesitate to say that Jehovah sins or suffers; 229:6 but if sin and suffering are realities of being, whence did they emanate? God made all that was made, and Mind signifies God, - infinity, not finity. 229:9 Not far removed from infidelity is the belief which unites such opposites as sickness and health, holiness and unholiness, calls both the offspring of spirit, and 229:12 at the same time admits that Spirit is God, - vir- tually declaring Him good in one instance and evil in another. Self-constituted law 229:15 By universal consent, mortal belief has constituted itself a law to bind mortals to sickness, sin, and death. This customary belief is misnamed material 229:18 law, and the individual who upholds it is mis- taken in theory and in practice. The so-called law of mortal mind, conjectural and speculative, is made void 229:21 by the law of immortal Mind, and false law should be trampled under foot. Sickness from mortal mind If God causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, 229:24 and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that He makes is good and will stand forever. If the transgression of God's law produces sickness, it 229:27 is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. It is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of 229:30 matter nor of divine Mind, which causes the belief of sick- ness. The remedy is Truth, not matter, - the truth that disease is /unreal/.
