murderous false beliefs exposed

     Certain erroneous postulates should be here considered in order that the spiritual facts may be better apprehended. 
     The first erroneous postulate of belief is, that substance, life, and intelligence are something apart from God. 
     The second erroneous postulate is, that man is both mental and material. 
     The third erroneous postulate is, that mind is both evil and good; whereas the real Mind cannot be evil nor the medium of evil, for Mind is God. 
     The fourth erroneous postulate is, that matter is intelligent, and that man has a material body which is part of himself. 
     The fifth erroneous postulate is, that matter holds in itself the issues of life and death, — that matter is not only capable of experiencing pleasure and pain, but also capable of imparting these sensations. From the illusion implied in this last postulate arises the decomposition of mortal bodies in what is termed death. 
     Mind is not an entity within the cranium with the power of sinning now and forever.
