409:9 Unconscious mortal mind - /alias /matter, brain - can- not dictate terms to consciousness nor say, "I am sick." The belief, that the unconscious substratum 409:12 of mortal mind, termed the body, suffers and reports disease independently of this so-called conscious mind, is the error which prevents mortals from knowing 409:15 how to govern their bodies. So-called superiority The so-called conscious mortal mind is believed to be superior to its unconscious substratum, matter, and 409:18 the stronger never yields to the weaker, ex- cept through fear or choice. The animate should be governed by God alone. The real man is 409:21 spiritual and immortal, but the mortal and imperfect so-called "children of men" are counterfeits from the beginning, to be laid aside for the pure reality. This 409:24 mortal is put off, and the new man or real man is put on, in proportion as mortals realize the Science of man and seek the true model. Death no benefactor 409:27 We have no right to say that life depends on matter now, but will not depend on it after death. We cannot spend our days here in ignorance of the Science 409:30 of Life, and expect to find beyond the grave a reward for this ignorance. Death will not make us harmonious and immortal as a recompense for ignorance. 410:1 If here we give no heed to Christian Science, which is spiritual and eternal, we shall not be ready for spiritual 410:3 Life hereafter. Life eternal and present "This is life eternal," says Jesus, - /is/, not /shall be/; and then he defines everlasting life as a present knowledge 410:6 of his Father and of himself, - the knowledge of Love, Truth, and Life. "This is life eter- nal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and 410:9 Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." The Scriptures say, "Man shall not live by bread /alone/, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God," show- 410:12 ing that Truth is the actual life of man; but mankind objects to making this teaching practical. Love casteth out fear Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. 410:15 The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith and the purer our love. The Apostle 410:18 John says: "There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear. . . . He that feareth is not made per- fect in Love." Here is a definite and inspired proclama- 410:21 tion of Christian Science. MENTAL TREATMENT ILLUSTRATED Be not afraid
