There is no material man, man is divine, a perfect being, in a perfect world, governed by a perfect God, “God’s spiritual idea, individual, perfect, eternal" (S. & H. p. 115). The only man there is now, ever was or ever will be is spiritual and perfect, reflecting Life, Truth, Love, Mind, Soul, Spirit, intelligence, substance and Principle. Man is consciousness, God’s consciousness, knowing nothing unlike God, being co-existent and co­ eternal with God, ever re-presenting perfect, spiritual ideas in the divine order of being, God’s thinking, knowing, acting, conscious, existent idea of Himself; in quality reflecting all that God is. “Tbe sinless joy,—tbe perfect harmony and immortality of Life, possessing unlimited divine beauty and goodness without a single bodily pleasure or pain,—constitutes the only veritable, indestructible man, whose being is spiritual” (S. & H. p. 76). There is no matter, only Spirit and the infinite manifestation of Spirit, pure, perfect, divine and holy. “Immortal man was and is God’s image or idea, even the infinite expression of infinite Mind, and immortal man is coexistent and coeternal with that Mind” (S. &. H. p. 336). Man cannot be conscious of anything material, man thinks only of God’s spiritual ideas which are continually unfolding to him, for man is God’s consciousness by means of which God thinks and knows, and man knows Truth and rejoices in Truth. There is nothing but God, nothing but Truth. “His truth endure...tb to all generations” (Ps. 100 : 5).
