This chapter #3 is comprised of 90 questions and answers.

 1	    How can I believe that there is no such thing as matter,
  	when I weigh over two hundred pounds and carry about
 3	this weight daily? 

  	    By learning that matter is but manifest mortal mind. 
  	You entertain an adipose belief of yourself as substance;
 6	whereas, substance means more than matter: it is the
  	glory and permanence of Spirit:  it is that which is
  	hoped for but unseen, that which the material senses
 9	cannot take in. Have you never been so preoccupied in
  	thought when moving your body, that you did this with-
  	out consciousness of its weight? If never in your waking
12	hours, you have been in your night-dreams; and these
  	tend to elucidate your day-dream, or the mythical nature
  	of matter, and the possibilities of mind when let loose
15	from its own beliefs. In sleep, a sense of the body ac-
  	companies thought with less impediment than when
  	awake, which is the truer sense of being. In Science,
18	body is the servant of Mind, not its master: Mind is
  	supreme. Science reverses the evidence of material
  	sense with the spiritual sense that God, Spirit, is the only
21	substance; and that man, His image and likeness, is
  	spiritual, not material. This great Truth does not de-
  	stroy but substantiates man's identity, — together with
24	his immortality and preexistence, or his spiritual co-
  	existence with his Maker. That which has a beginning
  	must have an ending.
