02/09/2025 ~ 1. Mary Baker Eddy defined Soul as being spiritual sense because the only substance as defined by Spirit is spiritual. Therefore, our only way of identifying accurately is to be utilizing our spiritual senses. 

2. FOCUS ~ God, the only source of seeing ~ spiritual discernment. Whatever one views that is visible ~ letting what they have seen in front of them ~ to be considered as what they are presented with, can be translated from a material view to a spiritual view.

3. One should be free from a false sense of Truth ~ a material sense of Truth ~ which means that it is a lie because material sense cannot provide Truth, for it is the opposite of God.


4. Mary Baker Eddy states in the scientific statement of being ~ There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter ~ this can also be defined as mortal mind ~ anything that is unlike God ~ is matter or anything else that has no life, truth, intelligence or substance in it.

5. The formula is very easy to understand but not quite as easy to administer. But the understanding is that if we're not looking through the lens of Spirit, we're not seeing the truth about whatever it is that we are viewing. We cannot tell the difference between true vs false, unless we are looking through the lens of Spirit.

6. Truth is invisible ~ it is underlying & appears as a symbol. We cannot be looking at what appears to be visible as being Truth ~ At best, it is a symbol of Truth.


7. For Exampl...e, if we see the beauty of a rose, or smell the fragrance of a rose, or the beauty of a tree, or anything that is beautiful ~ is a symbol for what is the underlying Truth ~ what we are seeing that is visible.

8. If we're seeing something that is evil ~ that is not true. It is not representing Truth. Anything that is defective about vision is not Truth. God is the great I am ~ the only real seeing is the seeing of God.

9. God is our real vision. If we're not letting God do the seeing by seeing only perfection, then we are not letting the eyes of God be our vision, which means we're not seeing the truth about whatever is the topic.

10. If we are willing to submit to evil and therefore be tricked, then we are not willing to focus on Truth.
