257:30 It would require an infinite form to contain infinite Mind. Indeed, the phrase /infinite form/ involves a con- tradiction of terms. Finite man cannot be the image and 258:1 likeness of the infinite God. A mortal, corporeal, or finite conception of God cannot embrace the glories of 258:3 limitless, incorporeal Life and Love. Hence the unsatisfied human craving for something better, higher, holier, than is afforded by a 258:6 material belief in a physical God and man. The insuffi- ciency of this belief to supply the true idea proves the falsity of material belief. Infinity's reflection 258:9 Man is more than a material form with a mind inside, which must escape from its environments in order to be immortal. Man reflects infinity, 258:12 and this reflection is the true idea of God. God expresses in man the infinite idea forever develop- ing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from 258:15 a boundless basis. Mind manifests all that exists in the infinitude of Truth. We know no more of man as the true divine image and likeness, than we know of 258:18 God. The infinite Principle is reflected by the infinite idea and spiritual individuality, but the material so-called senses 258:21 have no cognizance of either Principle or its idea. The human capacities are enlarged and perfected in propor- tion as humanity gains the true conception of man and 258:24 God. Individual permanency Mortals have a very imperfect sense of the spiritual man and of the infinite range of his thought. To him 258:27 belongs eternal Life. Never born and never dying, it were impossible for man, under the government of God in eternal Science, to fall from his 258:30 high estate. God's man discerned Through spiritual sense you can discern the heart of divinity, and thus begin to comprehend in Science the 259:1 generic term /man. /Man is not absorbed in Deity, and man cannot lose his individuality, for he re- 259:3 flects eternal Life; nor is he an isolated, soli- tary idea, for he represents infinite Mind, the sum of all substance. 259:6 In divine Science, man is the true image of God. The divine nature was best expressed in Christ Jesus, who threw upon mortals the truer reflection of God and lifted 259:9 their lives higher than their poor thought-models would allow, - thoughts which presented man as fallen, sick, sinning, and dying. The Christlike understanding of 259:12 scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect Prin- ciple and idea, - perfect God and perfect man, - as the basis of thought and demonstration.
