Divine Science is absolute, and permits no half-way 274:24 position in learning its Principle and rule - establishing it by demonstration. The conventional firm, called matter and mind, God never formed. 274:27 Science and understanding, governed by the unerring and eternal Mind, destroy the imaginary copartnership, matter and mind, formed only to be destroyed in a manner and 274:30 at a period as yet unknown. This suppositional partner- ship is already obsolete, for matter, examined in the light of divine metaphysics, disappears. Spirit the starting-point 275:1 Matter has no life to lose, and Spirit never dies. A partnership of mind with matter would ignore omnipres- 275:3 ent and omnipotent Mind. This shows that matter did not originate in God, Spirit, and is not eternal. Therefore matter is neither substantial, living, 275:6 nor intelligent. The starting-point of divine Science is that God, Spirit, is All-in-all, and that there is no other might nor Mind, - that God is Love, and therefore He 275:9 is divine Principle. Divine synonyms To grasp the reality and order of being in its Science, you must begin by reckoning God as the divine Principle 275:12 of all that really is. Spirit, Life, Truth, Love, combine as one, - and are the Scriptural names for God. All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, im- 275:15 mortality, cause, and effect belong to God. These are His attributes, the eternal manifestations of the infinite divine Principle, Love. No wisdom is wise but His 275:18 wisdom; no truth is true, no love is lovely, no life is Life but the divine; no good is, but the good God bestows. The divine completeness Divine metaphysics, as revealed to spiritual understand- 275:21 ing, shows clearly that all is Mind, and that Mind is God, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, - that is, all power, all presence, all Science. 275:24 Hence all is in reality the manifestation of Mind. Our material human theories are destitute of Science. The true understanding of God is spiritual. It robs the 275:27 grave of victory. It destroys the false evidence that mis- leads thought and points to other gods, or other so-called powers, such as matter, disease, sin, and death, superior 275:30 or contrary to the one Spirit. Truth, spiritually discerned, is scientifically understood. It casts out error and heals the sick. Universal brotherhood
