299:24 Truth never destroys God's idea. Truth is spiritual, eternal substance, which cannot destroy the right reflec- tion. Corporeal sense, or error, may seem to hide Truth, 299:27 health, harmony, and Science, as the mist obscures the sun or the mountain; but Science, the sunshine of Truth, will melt away the shadow and reveal the celestial 299:30 peaks. Old and new man If man were solely a creature of the material senses, he would have no eternal Principle and would be mutable 300:1 and mortal. Human logic is awry when it attempts to draw correct spiritual conclusions regarding life from 300:3 matter. Finite sense has no true apprecia- tion of infinite Principle, God, or of His infi- nite image or reflection, man. The mirage, which makes 300:6 trees and cities seem to be where they are not, illustrates the illusion of material man, who cannot be the image of God. 300:9 So far as the scientific statement as to man is under- stood, it can be proved and will bring to light the true reflection of God - the real man, or the /new/ man (as 300:12 St. Paul has it). The tares and wheat The temporal and unreal never touch the eternal and real. The mutable and imperfect never touch the im- 300:15 mutable and perfect. The inharmonious and self-destructive never touch the harmonious and self-existent. These opposite qualities are the tares 300:18 and wheat, which never really mingle, though (to mortal sight) they grow side by side until the harvest; then, Sci- ence separates the wheat from the tares, through the real- 300:21 ization of God as ever present and of man as reflecting the divine likeness. The divine reflection Spirit is God, Soul; therefore Soul is not in matter. If 300:24 Spirit were in matter, God would have no representative, and matter would be identical with God. The theory that soul, spirit, intelligence, in- 300:27 habits matter is taught by the schools. This theory is unscientific. The universe reflects and expresses the di- vine substance or Mind; therefore God is seen only in the 300:30 spiritual universe and spiritual man, as the sun is seen in the ray of light which goes out from it. God is re- vealed only in that which reflects Life, Truth, Love, - 301:1 yea, which manifests God's attributes and power, even as the human likeness thrown upon the mirror, repeats 301:3 the color, form, and action of the person in front of the mirror. Few persons comprehend what Christian Science 301:6 means by the word /reflection. /To himself, mortal and material man seems to be substance, but his sense of substance involves error and therefore is material, 301:9 temporal.
