305:12 Gender also is a quality, not of God, but a character- istic of mortal mind. The verity that God's image is not a creator, though he reflects the creation of Mind, God, 305:15 constitutes the underlying reality of reflection. "Then answered Jesus and said unto them: Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he 305:18 seeth the Father do: for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." Inverted images The inverted images presented by the senses, the de- 305:21 flections of matter as opposed to the Science of spirit- ual reflection, are all unlike Spirit, God. In the illusion of life that is here to-day and 305:24 gone to-morrow, man would be wholly mortal, were it not that Love, the divine Principle that obtains in divine Science, destroys all error and brings immor- 305:27 tality to light. Because man is the reflection of his Maker, he is not subject to birth, growth, maturity, de- cay. These mortal dreams are of human origin, not 305:30 divine. Jewish traditions The Sadducees reasoned falsely about the resurrec- tion, but not so blindly as the Pharisees, who believed 306:1 error to be as immortal as Truth. The Pharisees thought that they could raise the spiritual from the material. They 306:3 would first make life result in death, and then resort to death to reproduce spiritual life. Jesus taught them how death was to be overcome by 306:6 spiritual Life, and demonstrated this beyond cavil. Divinity not childless Life demonstrates Life. The immortality of Soul makes man immortal. If God, who is Life, were parted for a 306:9 moment from His reflection, man, during that moment there would be no divinity reflected. The Ego would be unexpressed, and the Father would be 306:12 childless, - no Father. If Life or Soul and its representative, man, unite for a period and then are separated as by a law of divorce to 306:15 be brought together again at some uncertain future time and in a manner unknown, - and this is the general religious opinion of mankind, - we are left without a 306:18 rational proof of immortality. But man cannot be sep- arated for an instant from God, if man reflects God. Thus Science proves man's existence to be intact. Thought-forms
