Mortal mind is the name given to the imaginary cause of all evil, or mist of matter which appears to hide heaven. It is the supposititious opposite of God, and is a synonym for what is called in the Bible “the serpent*' “Satan” “the devil” “enmity against God” etc. Its ultimate basis from a natural science point of view is small electrical particles, negative at one end and positive at the other, which in belief aggregate together in what is known as matter and hide heaven from us. These particles of electricity keep on short circuiting themselves and disappearing. They therefore have no existence or reality. It is a synonym for what is known in natural science as die dhcr, the cause of all our 4r<»uble, as the matter it forms bides heaven and brings about a suppositional absence of good, called evil. "The carnal Mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Rom. 8:7). In working against it you can realise that there is no mortal mind, there is only one Mind, God, infinite good.
