Chapter 14 ~ Recapitulation ~ Subtitles
Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy ~ 1910 Final Ed.
1. Description ~ Please see below 2. Text Content ~ Please see below
What is it that is coming to birth? What is this nature of God? This chapter is a series of questions and answers. The first is, What is God? The whole chapter is an elaboration of the answer, because that basically is the first and last and only real question. So "Recapitulation" is letting God reveal to us what He is. By the answers to these questions we are being taught of God. The answer to this first question is: "God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite" and then come these seven capitalized terms which have dominated the book throughout, "Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love." Every idea that we ever need in the whole of being can be found in those terms. But by having seven capitalized terms, seven names for God, are we not in danger of having seven gods? Therefore the second question asks, "Are these terms synonymous?" The answer in part is, "They are. They refer to one absolute God." (This is why you will notice that so often we refer to `the synonymous terms for God.') But we must go further. The next question is, "Is there more than one God or Principle?" And the answer is: "There is not. Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent Being, and His reflection is man and the universe." It is here that we find this statement on which we build our assurance of the inseparability of God and man as our basis of operation. Principle and its idea is one. ~ DISSOLVING BARRIERS, The Healing Work of Christian Science by John L. MorganSHOW ALL

Intro Paragraph | Origin, revision, nature, and purpose - 24 Questions and answers - Intro Paragraph | INTRODUCTION 1 This chapter is from the first edition of the author's class-book, copyrighted in 1870. After much labor 3 and increased spiritual understanding, she revised that treatise for this volume in 1875. Absolute Christian Science pervades its statements, to elucidate scientific 6 metaphysics. |
3 | 3 | 465 | QA 1 of 24 - The nature and characteristics of God revealed in the Bible and in the discovery and practice of Christian Science |
incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite, Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love |
QA 1 of 24. The topic for this question and answer is: The nature and characteristics of God revealed in the Bible and in the discovery and practice of Christian Science. |
God - What is God? | Question. — What is God? 9 Answer. — God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love. |
4 | 4 | 465 | QA 2 of 24 - The significance and meaning of the synonymous terms for God in relation to each other |
refer, absolute, intention, nature, essence, wholeness, Deity, attribute(s) |
QA 2 of 24. The topic for this question and answer is: The significance and meaning of the synonymous terms for God in relation to each other |
Synonymous Terms - Are these terms synonymous? | Question. — Are these terms synonymous? 12 Answer. — They are. They refer to one absolute God. They are also intended to express the nature, essence, and wholeness of Deity. The attributes of God are justice, 15 mercy, wisdom, goodness, and so on. |
5 | 5 | 465 | QA 3 of 24 - The oneness and allness of God |
Principle. idea, one, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, Being, reflection, man, universe, omni, manifestation(s), Mind, matter |
QA 3 of 24. The topic for this question and answer is: The oneness and allness of God |
God or Principle - Is there more than one God or Principle? | Question. — Is there more than one God or Principle? Answer. — There is not. Principle and its idea is one, 18 and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omni- 1 present Being, and His reflection is man and the universe. Omni is adopted from the Latin adjective signifying all. 3 Hence God combines all-power or potency, all-science or true knowledge, all-presence. The varied manifesta- tions of Christian Science indicate Mind, never matter, 6 and have one Principle. SHOW ALL |

Answer. — To human belief, they are personalities 9 constituted of mind and matter, life and death, truth and error, good and evil; but these contrasting Real versus pairs of terms represent contraries, as Chris- unreal 12 tian Science reveals, which neither dwell together nor assimilate. Truth is immortal; error is mortal. Truth is limitless; error is limited. Truth is intelligent; error 15 is non-intelligent. Moreover, Truth is real, and error is unreal. This last statement contains the point you will most reluctantly admit, although first and last it is the 18 most important to understand. The term souls or spirits is as improper as the term gods. Soul or Spirit signifies Deity and nothing else. 21 There is no finite soul nor spirit. Soul or Mankind Spirit means only one Mind, and cannot be redeemed rendered in the plural. Heathen mythology and Jewish 24 theology have perpetuated the fallacy that intelligence, soul, and life can be in matter; and idolatry and ritualism are the outcome of all man-made beliefs. The Science 27 of Christianity comes with fan in hand to separate the chaff from the wheat. Science will declare God aright, and Christianity will demonstrate this declaration and 30 its divine Principle, making mankind better physically, morally, and spiritually.SHOW ALL |

Science of Soul - What are the demands of the Science of Soul? | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 1 Question. — What are the demands of the Science of Soul? SUBTITLE for above Question 1 Question. — What are the demands of the Science of Soul? 3 Answer. — The first demand of this Science is, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." This me is Spirit. Therefore the command means this: Thou shalt Two chief 6 have no intelligence, no life, no substance, no commands truth, no love, but that which is spiritual. The second is like unto it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." 9 It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact 12 becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brother- hood of man will be established. Having no other gods, turning to no other but the one perfect Mind to guide 15 him, man is the likeness of God, pure and eternal, hav- ing that Mind which was also in Christ. Science reveals Spirit, Soul, as not in the body, and 18 God as not in man but as reflected by man. The greater cannot be in the lesser. The belief that the Soul not greater can be in the lesser is an error that confined in body 21 works ill. This is a leading point in the Science of Soul, that Principle is not in its idea. Spirit, Soul, is not confined in man, and is never in matter. We reason im- 24 perfectly from effect to cause, when we conclude that matter is the effect of Spirit; but a priori reasoning shows material existence to be enigmatical. Spirit gives 27 the true mental idea. We cannot interpret Spirit, Mind, through matter. Matter neither sees, hears, nor feels. Reasoning from cause to effect in the Science of Mind, 30 we begin with Mind, which must be under- Sinlessness of stood through the idea which expresses it and Mind, Soul cannot be learned from its opposite, matter. Thus we 1 arrive at Truth, or intelligence, which evolves its own unerring idea and never can be coordinate with human 3 illusions. If Soul sinned, it would be mortal, for sin is mortality's self, because it kills itself. If Truth is im- mortal, error must be mortal, because error is unlike 6 Truth. Because Soul is immortal, Soul cannot sin, for sin is not the eternal verity of being.SHOW ALL |

Mind - What is Mind? | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 12 Question. — What is Mind? SUBTITLE for above Question 12 Question. — What is Mind? Answer. — Mind is God. The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and 15 that the supposititious opposite of infinite Mind True sense of — called devil or evil — is not Mind, is not infinitude Truth, but error, without intelligence or reality. There 18 can be but one Mind, because there is but one God; and if mortals claimed no other Mind and accepted no other, sin would be unknown. We can have but one Mind, if 21 that one is infinite. We bury the sense of infinitude, when we admit that, although God is infinite, evil has a place in this infinity, for evil can have no place, where all 24 space is filled with God. We lose the high signification of omnipotence, when after admitting that God, or good, is omnipresent and 27 has all-power, we still believe there is another The sole power, named evil. This belief that there governor is more than one mind is as pernicious to divine theology 30 as are ancient mythology and pagan idolatry. With 1 one Father, even God, the whole family of man would be brethren; and with one Mind and that God, or good, 3 the brotherhood of man would consist of Love and Truth, and have unity of Principle and spiritual power which constitute divine Science. The supposed existence of 6 more than one mind was the basic error of idolatry. This error assumed the loss of spiritual power, the loss of the spiritual presence of Life as infinite Truth without an 9 unlikeness, and the loss of Love as ever present and universal. Divine Science explains the abstract statement that 12 there is one Mind by the following self-evident propo- sition: If God, or good, is real, then evil, the The divine unlikeness of God, is unreal. And evil can standard of 15 only seem to be real by giving reality to the perfection unreal. The children of God have but one Mind. How can good lapse into evil, when God, the Mind of man, 18 never sins? The standard of perfection was originally God and man. Has God taken down His own standard, and has man fallen? 21 God is the creator of man, and, the divine Principle of man remaining perfect, the divine idea or reflection, man, remains perfect. Man is the expression Indestructible 24 of God's being. If there ever was a moment relationship when man did not express the divine perfec- tion, then there was a moment when man did not express 27 God, and consequently a time when Deity was unex- pressed — that is, without entity. If man has lost per- fection, then he has lost his perfect Principle, the divine 30 Mind. If man ever existed without this perfect Principle or Mind, then man's existence was a myth. 6 The unlikeness of Truth, — named error, — the op- posite of Science, and the evidence before the five cor- poreal senses, afford no indication of the grand Celestial 9 facts of being; even as these so-called senses evidence receive no intimation of the earth's motions or of the science of astronomy, but yield assent to astronomical 12 propositions on the authority of natural science. The facts of divine Science should be admitted, — although the evidence as to these facts is not supported 15 by evil, by matter, or by material sense, — because the evidence that God and man coexist is fully sustained by spiritual sense. Man is, and forever has been, God's re- 18 flection. God is infinite, therefore ever present, and there is no other power nor presence. Hence the spirit- uality of the universe is the only fact of creation. "Let 21 God be true, but every [material] man a liar." SHOW ALL |

Governor - The sole governor | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 3 of 6 12 Question. — What is Mind? SUBTITLE 3 of 6 for above Question We lose the high signification of omnipotence, when after admitting that God, or good, is omnipresent and 27 has all-power, we still believe there is another The sole power, named evil. This belief that there governor is more than one mind is as pernicious to divine theology 30 as are ancient mythology and pagan idolatry. With 1 one Father, even God, the whole family of man would be brethren; and with one Mind and that God, or good, 3 the brotherhood of man would consist of Love and Truth, and have unity of Principle and spiritual power which constitute divine Science. The supposed existence of 6 more than one mind was the basic error of idolatry. This error assumed the loss of spiritual power, the loss of the spiritual presence of Life as infinite Truth without an 9 unlikeness, and the loss of Love as ever present and universal. SHOW ALL |

The facts of divine Science should be admitted, — although the evidence as to these facts is not supported 15 by evil, by matter, or by material sense, — because the evidence that God and man coexist is fully sustained by spiritual sense. Man is, and forever has been, God's re- 18 flection. God is infinite, therefore ever present, and there is no other power nor presence.

Therefore Unrealities 27 the only reality of sin, sickness, or death is that seem real the awful fact that unrealities seem real to human, erring belief, until God strips off their disguise. They are not 30 true, because they are not of God. We learn in Christian 1 Science that all inharmony of mortal mind or body is illu- sion, possessing neither reality nor identity though seeming 3 to be real and identical. The Science of Mind disposes of all evil. Truth, God, is not the father of error. Sin, sickness, and death are 6 to be classified as effects of error. Christ Christ the came to destroy the belief of sin. The God- ideal Truth principle is omnipresent and omnipotent. God is every- 9 where, and nothing apart from Him is present or has power. Christ is the ideal Truth, that comes to heal sickness and sin through Christian Science, and attributes 12 all power to God. Jesus is the name of the man who, more than all other men, has presented Christ, the true idea of God, healing the sick and the sinning and destroy- 15 ing the power of death. Jesus is the human man, and Christ is the divine idea; hence the duality of Jesus the Christ. 18 In an age of ecclesiastical despotism, Jesus introduced the teaching and practice of Christianity, affording the proof of Christianity's truth and love; but to Jesus not 21 reach his example and to test its unerring Sci- God ence according to his rule, healing sickness, sin, and death, a better understanding of God as divine Prin- 24 ciple, Love, rather than personality or the man Jesus, is required. Jesus established what he said by demonstration, 27 thus making his acts of higher importance than his words. He proved what he taught. This Jesus not is the Science of Christianity. Jesus proved understood 30 the Principle, which heals the sick and casts out error, to be divine. Few, however, except his students un- derstood in the least his teachings and their glorious 1 proofs, — namely, that Life, Truth, and Love (the Prin- ciple of this unacknowledged Science) destroy all error, 3 evil, disease, and death. The reception accorded to Truth in the early Chris- tian era is repeated to-day. Whoever introduces the 6 Science of Christianity will be scoffed at and Miracles scourged with worse cords than those which rejected cut the flesh. To the ignorant age in which it first 9 appears, Science seems to be a mistake, — hence the misinterpretation and consequent maltreatment which it receives. Christian marvels (and marvel is the sim- 12 ple meaning of the Greek word rendered miracle in the New Testament) will be misunderstood and misused by many, until the glorious Principle of these marvels is 15 gained. If sin, sickness, and death are as real as Life, Truth, and Love, then they must all be from the same source; 18 God must be their author. Now Jesus came Divine to destroy sin, sickness, and death; yet the fulfilment Scriptures aver, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." 21 Is it possible, then, to believe that the evils which Jesus lived to destroy are real or the offspring of the divine will? 24 Despite the hallowing influence of Truth in the de- struction of error, must error still be immortal? Truth spares all that is true. If evil is real, Truth Truth destroys 27 must make it so; but error, not Truth, is falsity the author of the unreal, and the unreal vanishes, while all that is real is eternal. The apostle says that 30 the mission of Christ is to "destroy the works of the devil." Truth destroys falsity and error, for light and darkness cannot dwell together. Light extinguishes the 1 darkness, and the Scripture declares that there is "no night there." To Truth there is no error, — all is Truth. 3 To infinite Spirit there is no matter, — all is Spirit, divine Principle and its idea. SHOW ALL |

He is the compound idea of 15 God, including all right ideas; the generic term for all that reflects God's image and likeness; the conscious identity of being as found in Science, in which man is 18 the reflection of God, or Mind, and therefore is eternal; that which has no separate mind from God; that which has not a single quality underived from Deity; that which 21 possesses no life, intelligence, nor creative power of his own, but reflects spiritually all that belongs to his Maker. And God said: "Let us make man in our image, after 24 our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that 27 creepeth upon the earth." Man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death. The real man cannot depart from holiness, nor Man 30 can God, by whom man is evolved, engender unfallen the capacity or freedom to sin. A mortal sinner is not 1 God's man. Mortals are the counterfeits of immortals. They are the children of the wicked one, or the one evil, 3 which declares that man begins in dust or as a material embryo. In divine Science, God and the real man are inseparable as divine Principle and idea. 6 Error, urged to its final limits, is self-destroyed. Error will cease to claim that soul is in body, that life and intelligence are in matter, and that Mortals are 9 this matter is man. God is the Principle of not immortals man, and man is the idea of God. Hence man is not mortal nor material. Mortals will disappear, and im- 12 mortals, or the children of God, will appear as the only and eternal verities of man. Mortals are not fallen chil- dren of God. They never had a perfect state of being, 15 which may subsequently be regained. They were, from the beginning of mortal history, "conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity." Mortality is finally swallowed 18 up in immortality. Sin, sickness, and death must dis- appear to give place to the facts which belong to immortal man. 21 Learn this, O mortal, and earnestly seek the spiritual status of man, which is outside of all material selfhood. Remember that the Scriptures say of mortal Imperishable 24 man: "As for man, his days are as grass: as identity a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall 27 know it no more." When speaking of God's children, not the children of men, Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you;" 30 that is, Truth and Love reign in the real The kingdom man, showing that man in God's image is within unfallen and eternal. Jesus beheld in Science the per- 1 fect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour 3 saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is intact, universal, and that man is pure and holy. 6 Man is not a material habitation for Soul; he is himself spiritual. Soul, being Spirit, is seen in nothing imperfect nor material. 9 Whatever is material is mortal. To the five corporeal senses, man appears to be matter and mind united; but Christian Science reveals man as the idea of Material 12 God, and declares the corporeal senses to be body never mortal and erring illusions. Divine Science God's idea shows it to be impossible that a material body, though 15 interwoven with matter's highest stratum, misnamed mind, should be man, — the genuine and perfect man, the immortal idea of being, indestructible and eternal. 18 Were it otherwise, man would be annihilated.

Matter - Does brain think, and do nerves feel, and is there intelligence in matter? | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE Question. — Does brain think, and do nerves feel, and 15 is there intelligence in matter? SUBTITLE for above Question Question. — Does brain think, and do nerves feel, and 15 is there intelligence in matter? Answer. — No, not if God is true and mortal man a liar. The assertion that there can be pain or pleasure 18 in matter is erroneous. That body is most Harmonious harmonious in which the discharge of the nat- functions ural functions is least noticeable. How can intelligence 21 dwell in matter when matter is non-intelligent and brain-lobes cannot think? Matter cannot perform the functions of Mind. Error says, "I am man;" but this 24 belief is mortal and far from actual. From beginning to end, whatever is mortal is composed of material hu- man beliefs and of nothing else. That only is real which 27 reflects God. St. Paul said, "But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace, . . . I conferred not with flesh and blood." 30 Mortal man is really a self-contradictory phrase, for man is not mortal, "neither indeed can be;" man is im- 1 mortal. If a child is the offspring of physical sense and not of Soul, the child must have a material, not a spirit- 3 ual origin. With what truth, then, could the Immortal Scriptural rejoicing be uttered by any mother, birthright "I have gotten a man from the Lord"? On the con- 6 trary, if aught comes from God, it cannot be mortal and material; it must be immortal and spiritual. Matter is neither self-existent nor a product of Spirit. 9 An image of mortal thought, reflected on the retina, is all that the eye beholds. Matter cannot see, Matter's feel, hear, taste, nor smell. It is not self- supposed 12 cognizant, — cannot feel itself, see itself, nor selfhood understand itself. Take away so-called mortal mind, which constitutes matter's supposed selfhood, and matter 15 can take no cognizance of matter. Does that which we call dead ever see, hear, feel, or use any of the physical senses? 18 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep." Chaos and 21 (Genesis i. 1, 2.) In the vast forever, in the darkness Science and truth of being, the only facts are Spirit and its innumerable creations. Darkness and chaos 24 are the imaginary opposites of light, understanding, and eternal harmony, and they are the elements of nothingness. 27 We admit that black is not a color, because it reflects no light. So evil should be denied identity or power, because it has none of the divine hues. Paul Spiritual 30 says: "For the invisible things of Him, from reflection the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being under- stood by the things that are made." (Romans i. 20.) 1 When the substance of Spirit appears in Christian Sci- ence, the nothingness of matter is recognized. Where 3 the spirit of God is, and there is no place where God is not, evil becomes nothing, — the opposite of the some- thing of Spirit. If there is no spiritual reflection, then 6 there remains only the darkness of vacuity and not a trace of heavenly tints. Nerves are an element of the belief that there is sensa- 9 tion in matter, whereas matter is devoid of sensation. Consciousness, as well as action, is governed Harmony by Mind, — is in God, the origin and gov- from Spirit 12 ernor of all that Science reveals. Material sense has its realm apart from Science in the unreal. Harmonious action proceeds from Spirit, God. Inharmony has no 15 Principle; its action is erroneous and presupposes man to be in matter. Inharmony would make matter the cause as well as the effect of intelligence, or Soul, thus 18 attempting to separate Mind from God. Man is not God, and God is not man. Again, God, or good, never made man capable of sin. It is the oppo- 21 site of good — that is, evil — which seems to Evil make men capable of wrong-doing. Hence, non-existent evil is but an illusion, and it has no real basis. Evil is a 24 false belief. God is not its author. The supposititious parent of evil is a lie. The Bible declares: "All things were made by Him 27 [the divine Word]; and without Him was not anything made that was made." This is the eternal Vapor and verity of divine Science. If sin, sickness, and nothingness 30 death were understood as nothingness, they would dis- appear. As vapor melts before the sun, so evil would vanish before the reality of good. One must hide the 1 other. How important, then, to choose good as the reality! Man is tributary to God, Spirit, and to nothing 3 else. God's being is infinity, freedom, harmony, and boundless bliss. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Like the archpriests of yore, man is 6 free "to enter into the holiest," — the realm of God. Material sense never helps mortals to understand Spirit, God. Through spiritual sense only, man com- 9 prehends and loves Deity. The various con- The fruit tradictions of the Science of Mind by the ma- forbidden terial senses do not change the unseen Truth, which re- 12 mains forever intact. The forbidden fruit of knowledge, against which wisdom warns man, is the testimony of error, declaring existence to be at the mercy of death, 15 and good and evil to be capable of commingling. This is the significance of the Scripture concerning this "tree of the knowledge of good and evil," — this growth of 18 material belief, of which it is said: "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Human hypotheses first assume the reality of sickness, sin, and death, and 21 then assume the necessity of these evils because of their admitted actuality. These human verdicts are the pro- curers of all discord. 24 If Soul sins, it must be mortal. Sin has the elements of self-destruction. It cannot sustain itself. If sin is supported, God must uphold it, and this is Sense and 27 impossible, since Truth cannot support error. pure Soul Soul is the divine Principle of man and never sins, — hence the immortality of Soul. In Science we learn that 30 it is material sense, not Soul, which sins; and it will be found that it is the sense of sin which is lost, and not a sinful soul. When reading the Scriptures, the substitu- 1 tion of the word sense for soul gives the exact meaning in a majority of cases. 3 Human thought has adulterated the meaning of the word soul through the hypothesis that soul is both an evil and a good intelligence, resident in matter. Soul 6 The proper use of the word soul can always defined be gained by substituting the word God, where the deific meaning is required. In other cases, use the word sense, 9 and you will have the scientific signification. As used in Christian Science, Soul is properly the synonym of Spirit, or God; but out of Science, soul is identical with 12 sense, with material sensation. SHOW ALL |

Birthright - Immortal birthright | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 3 of 12 Question. — Does brain think, and do nerves feel, and 15 is there intelligence in matter? SUBTITLE 3 of 12 for above Question 30 Mortal man is really a self-contradictory phrase, for man is not mortal, "neither indeed can be;" man is im- 1 mortal. If a child is the offspring of physical sense and not of Soul, the child must have a material, not a spirit- 3 ual origin. With what truth, then, could the Immortal Scriptural rejoicing be uttered by any mother, birthright "I have gotten a man from the Lord"? On the con- 6 trary, if aught comes from God, it cannot be mortal and material; it must be immortal and spiritual. SHOW ALL |

SUBTITLE 4 of 12 for above Question Matter is neither self-existent nor a product of Spirit. 9 An image of mortal thought, reflected on the retina, is all that the eye beholds. Matter cannot see, Matter's feel, hear, taste, nor smell. It is not self- supposed 12 cognizant, — cannot feel itself, see itself, nor selfhood understand itself. Take away so-called mortal mind, which constitutes matter's supposed selfhood, and matter 15 can take no cognizance of matter.

Reflection - Spiritual reflection | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 6 of 12 Question. — Does brain think, and do nerves feel, and 15 is there intelligence in matter? SUBTITLE 6 of 12 for above Question 27 We admit that black is not a color, because it reflects no light. So evil should be denied identity or power, because it has none of the divine hues. Paul Spiritual 30 says: "For the invisible things of Him, from reflection the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being under- stood by the things that are made." (Romans i. 20.) 1 When the substance of Spirit appears in Christian Sci- ence, the nothingness of matter is recognized. Where 3 the spirit of God is, and there is no place where God is not, evil becomes nothing, — the opposite of the some- thing of Spirit. If there is no spiritual reflection, then 6 there remains only the darkness of vacuity and not a trace of heavenly tints. SHOW ALL |

Nothingness - Vapor and nothingness | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 9 of 12 Question. — Does brain think, and do nerves feel, and 15 is there intelligence in matter? SUBTITLE 9 of 12 for above Question The Bible declares: "All things were made by Him 27 [the divine Word]; and without Him was not anything made that was made." This is the eternal Vapor and verity of divine Science. If sin, sickness, and nothingness 30 death were understood as nothingness, they would dis- appear. As vapor melts before the sun, so evil would vanish before the reality of good. One must hide the 1 other. How important, then, to choose good as the reality!

This is the significance of the Scripture concerning this "tree of the knowledge of good and evil," — this growth of 18 material belief, of which it is said: "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Human hypotheses first assume the reality of sickness, sin, and death, and 21 then assume the necessity of these evils because of their admitted actuality.

Jesus called himself "the Son of man," but not the son of Joseph. As Sonship 18 woman is but a species of the genera, he was of Jesus literally the Son of Man.

Sickness is part of the error which Truth casts out. 27 Error will not expel error. Christian Science is the law of Truth, which heals the sick on the basis Sickness of the one Mind or God. It can heal in no erroneous 30 other way, since the human, mortal mind so-called is not a healer, but causes the belief in disease. 1 Then comes the question, how do drugs, hygiene, and animal magnetism heal?

Mind transcends all other power, and will ultimately su- persede all other means in healing. In order to heal by 9 Science, you must not be ignorant of the moral and spir- itual demands of Science nor disobey them. Moral igno- rance or sin affects your demonstration, and hinders its 12 approach to the standard in Christian Science. After the author's sacred discovery, she affixed the name "Science" to Christianity, the name "error" to 15 corporeal sense, and the name "substance" to Terms Mind. Science has called the world to battle adopted by over this issue and its demonstration, which the author 18 heals the sick, destroys error, and reveals the universal harmony. To those natural Christian Scientists, the an- cient worthies, and to Christ Jesus, God certainly revealed 21 the spirit of Christian Science, if not the absolute letter. Because the Science of Mind seems to bring into dis- honor the ordinary scientific schools, which wrestle with 24 material observations alone, this Science has Science met with opposition; but if any system honors the way God, it ought to receive aid, not opposition, from all think- 27 ing persons. And Christian Science does honor God as no other theory honors Him, and it does this in the way of His appointing, by doing many wonderful works 30 through the divine name and nature. One must fulfil one's mission without timidity or dissimulation, for to be well done, the work must be done unselfishly. Christianity 1 will never be based on a divine Principle and so found to be unerring, until its absolute Science is reached. When 3 this is accomplished, neither pride, prejudice, bigotry, nor envy can wash away its foundation, for it is built upon the rock, Christ. SHOW ALL |

In di- vine Science, the supposed laws of matter yield to the law of Mind. What are termed natural Mindless 12 science and material laws are the objective methods states of mortal mind. The physical universe expresses the conscious and unconscious thoughts of mortals. 15 Physical force and mortal mind are one. Drugs and hygiene oppose the supremacy of the divine Mind. Drugs and inert matter are unconscious, mindless. Cer- 18 tain results, supposed to proceed from drugs, are really caused by the faith in them which the false human con- sciousness is educated to feel. 21 Mesmerism is mortal, material illusion. Animal mag- netism is the voluntary or involuntary action of error in all its forms; it is the human antipode Animal 24 of divine Science.

SUBTITLE for above Question Question. — Is materiality the concomitant of spirit- uality, and is material sense a necessary preliminary to 30 the understanding and expression of Spirit? 1 Answer. — If error is necessary to define or to reveal Truth, the answer is yes; but not otherwise. Material 3 sense is an absurd phrase, for matter has no Error only sensation. Science declares that Mind, not ephemeral matter, sees, hears, feels, speaks. Whatever contradicts 6 this statement is the false sense, which ever betrays mortals into sickness, sin, and death. If the unimpor- tant and evil appear, only soon to disappear because 9 of their uselessness or their iniquity, then these ephem- eral views of error ought to be obliterated by Truth. Why malign Christian Science for instructing mortals how 12 to make sin, disease, and death appear more and more unreal? Emerge gently from matter into Spirit. Think not 15 to thwart the spiritual ultimate of all things, but come naturally into Spirit through better health and Scientific morals and as the result of spiritual growth. translations 18 Not death, but the understanding of Life, makes man im- mortal. The belief that life can be in matter or soul in body, and that man springs from dust or from an egg, 21 is the result of the mortal error which Christ, or Truth, destroys by fulfilling the spiritual law of being, in which man is perfect, even as the "Father which is in heaven 24 is perfect." If thought yields its dominion to other powers, it cannot outline on the body its own beautiful images, but it effaces them and delineates foreign agents, 27 called disease and sin. The heathen gods of mythology controlled war and agriculture as much as nerves control sensation or 30 muscles measure strength. To say that Material strength is in matter, is like saying that the beliefs power is in the lever. The notion of any life or intelli- 1 gence in matter is without foundation in fact, and you can have no faith in falsehood when you have learned 3 falsehood's true nature. Suppose one accident happens to the eye, another to the ear, and so on, until every corporeal sense is quenched. 6 What is man's remedy? To die, that he may Sense versus regain these senses? Even then he must gain Soul spiritual understanding and spiritual sense in order to 9 possess immortal consciousness. Earth's preparatory school must be improved to the utmost. In reality man never dies. The belief that he dies will not establish his 12 scientific harmony. Death is not the result of Truth but of error, and one error will not correct another. Jesus proved by the prints of the nails, that his body 15 was the same immediately after death as before. If death restores sight, sound, and strength to man, Death then death is not an enemy but a better friend an error 18 than Life. Alas for the blindness of belief, which makes harmony conditional upon death and matter, and yet supposes Mind unable to produce harmony!

Man - Do the five corporeal senses constitute man? | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE Question. — Do the five corporeal senses constitute 15 man? SUBTITLE for above Question Question. — Do the five corporeal senses constitute 15 man? Answer. — Christian Science sustains with immortal proof the impossibility of any material sense, and defines 18 these so-called senses as mortal beliefs, the All faculties testimony of which cannot be true either of from Mind man or of his Maker. The corporeal senses can take no 21 cognizance of spiritual reality and immortality. Nerves have no more sensation, apart from what belief be- stows upon them, than the fibres of a plant. Mind alone 24 possesses all faculties, perception, and comprehension. Therefore mental endowments are not at the mercy of organization and decomposition, — otherwise the very 27 worms could unfashion man. If it were possible for the real senses of man to be injured, Soul could reproduce them in all their perfection; but they cannot be dis- 30 turbed nor destroyed, since they exist in immortal Mind, not in matter. 1 The less mind there is manifested in matter the better. When the unthinking lobster loses its claw, the claw grows 3 again. If the Science of Life were understood, Possibilities it would be found that the senses of Mind are of Life never lost and that matter has no sensation. Then the 6 human limb would be replaced as readily as the lobster's claw, — not with an artificial limb, but with the genuine one. Any hypothesis which supposes life to be in matter 9 is an educated belief. In infancy this belief is not equal to guiding the hand to the mouth; and as consciousness develops, this belief goes out, — yields to the reality of 12 everlasting Life. Corporeal sense defrauds and lies; it breaks all the commands of the Mosaic Decalogue to meet its own de- 15 mands. How then can this sense be the God- Decalogue given channel to man of divine blessings or disregarded understanding? How can man, reflecting God, be de- 18 pendent on material means for knowing, hearing, seeing? Who dares to say that the senses of man can be at one time the medium for sinning against God, at another the me- 21 dium for obeying God? An affirmative reply would con- tradict the Scripture, for the same fountain sendeth not forth sweet waters and bitter. 24 The corporeal senses are the only source of evil or error. Christian Science shows them to be false, be- cause matter has no sensation, and no organic Organic 27 construction can give it hearing and sight nor construction make it the medium of Mind. Outside the valueless material sense of things, all is harmony. A wrong sense 30 of God, man, and creation is non-sense, want of sense. Mortal belief would have the material senses sometimes good and sometimes bad. It assures mortals that there 1 is real pleasure in sin; but the grand truths of Christian Science dispute this error. 3 Will-power is but a product of belief, and this belief commits depredations on harmony. Human will is an animal propensity, not a faculty of Soul. Will-power 6 Hence it cannot govern man aright. Chris- an animal tian Science reveals Truth and Love as the propensity motive-powers of man. Will — blind, stubborn, and head- 9 long — cooperates with appetite and passion. From this cooperation arises its evil. From this also comes its pow- erlessness, since all power belongs to God, good. 12 The Science of Mind needs to be understood. Until it is understood, mortals are more or less deprived of Truth. Human theories are helpless to make Theories 15 man harmonious or immortal, since he is so helpless already, according to Christian Science. Our only need is to know this and reduce to practice the real man's di- 18 vine Principle, Love. "Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings." Human belief — or knowledge gained from the so-called 21 material senses — would, by fair logic, anni- True nature hilate man along with the dissolving elements and origin of clay. The scientifically Christian explanations of the 24 nature and origin of man destroy all material sense with immortal testimony. This immortal testimony ushers in the spiritual sense of being, which can be obtained 27 in no other way. Sleep and mesmerism explain the mythical nature of material sense. Sleep shows material sense as either 30 oblivion, nothingness, or an illusion or dream. Sleep an Under the mesmeric illusion of belief, a man illusion will think that he is freezing when he is warm, and that he 1 is swimming when he is on dry land. Needle-thrusts will not hurt him. A delicious perfume will seem intolerable. 3 Animal magnetism thus uncovers material sense, and shows it to be a belief without actual foundation or va- lidity. Change the belief, and the sensation changes. 6 Destroy the belief, and the sensation disappears. Material man is made up of involuntary and voluntary error, of a negative right and a positive wrong, the latter 9 calling itself right. Man's spiritual individual- Man linked ity is never wrong. It is the likeness of man's with Spirit Maker. Matter cannot connect mortals with the true 12 origin and facts of being, in which all must end. It is only by acknowledging the supremacy of Spirit, which annuls the claims of matter, that mortals can lay off mortality and 15 find the indissoluble spiritual link which establishes man forever in the divine likeness, inseparable from his creator. The belief that matter and mind are one, — that mat- 18 ter is awake at one time and asleep at another, some- times presenting no appearance of mind, — Material man this belief culminates in another belief, that as a dream 21 man dies. Science reveals material man as never the real being. The dream or belief goes on, whether our eyes are closed or open. In sleep, memory and consciousness are 24 lost from the body, and they wander whither they will apparently with their own separate embodiment. Per- sonality is not the individuality of man. A wicked man 27 may have an attractive personality. When we are awake, we dream of the pains and pleas- ures of matter. Who will say, even though he Spiritual 30 does not understand Christian Science, that existence the this dream — rather than the dreamer — may one fact not be mortal man? Who can rationally say otherwise, 1 when the dream leaves mortal man intact in body and thought, although the so-called dreamer is unconscious? 3 For right reasoning there should be but one fact before the thought, namely, spiritual existence. In reality there is no other existence, since Life cannot be united to its 6 unlikeness, mortality. Being is holiness, harmony, immortality. It is already proved that a knowledge of this, even in small degree, 9 will uplift the physical and moral standard Mind one of mortals, will increase longevity, will purify and all and elevate character. Thus progress will finally destroy 12 all error, and bring immortality to light. We know that a statement proved to be good must be correct. New thoughts are constantly obtaining the floor. These two 15 contradictory theories — that matter is something, or that all is Mind — will dispute the ground, until one is acknowledged to be the victor. Discussing his cam- 18 paign, General Grant said: "I propose to fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer." Science says: All is Mind and Mind's idea. You must fight it out on this 21 line. Matter can afford you no aid. The notion that mind and matter commingle in the human illusion as to sin, sickness, and death must even- 24 tually submit to the Science of Mind, which Scientific denies this notion. God is Mind, and God is ultimatum infinite; hence all is Mind. On this statement rests the 27 Science of being, and the Principle of this Science is di- vine, demonstrating harmony and immortality. The conservative theory, long believed, is that there 30 are two factors, matter and mind, uniting on some im- possible basis. This theory would keep truth and error always at war. Victory would perch on neither banner. 1 On the other hand, Christian Science speedily shows Truth to be triumphant. To corporeal sense, the sun 3 appears to rise and set, and the earth to stand Victory still; but astronomical science contradicts this, for Truth and explains the solar system as working on a differ- 6 ent plan. All the evidence of physical sense and all the knowledge obtained from physical sense must yield to Science, to the immortal truth of all things. SHOW ALL |

SUBTITLE 2 of 15 for above Question Question. — Do the five corporeal senses constitute 15 man? Answer. — Christian Science sustains with immortal proof the impossibility of any material sense, and defines 18 these so-called senses as mortal beliefs, the All faculties testimony of which cannot be true either of from Mind man or of his Maker. The corporeal senses can take no 21 cognizance of spiritual reality and immortality. Nerves have no more sensation, apart from what belief be- stows upon them, than the fibres of a plant. Mind alone 24 possesses all faculties, perception, and comprehension. Therefore mental endowments are not at the mercy of organization and decomposition, — otherwise the very 27 worms could unfashion man. If it were possible for the real senses of man to be injured, Soul could reproduce them in all their perfection; but they cannot be dis- 30 turbed nor destroyed, since they exist in immortal Mind, not in matter.

Possibilities of Life | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 3 of 15 Question. — Do the five corporeal senses constitute 15 man? SUBTITLE 3 of 15 for above Question 1 The less mind there is manifested in matter the better. When the unthinking lobster loses its claw, the claw grows 3 again. If the Science of Life were understood, Possibilities it would be found that the senses of Mind are of Life never lost and that matter has no sensation. Then the 6 human limb would be replaced as readily as the lobster's claw, — not with an artificial limb, but with the genuine one.

In infancy this belief is not equal to guiding the hand to the mouth; and as consciousness develops, this belief goes out, — yields to the reality of 12 everlasting Life. SHOW ALL |

Organic construction valueless | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 5 of 15 Question. — Do the five corporeal senses constitute 15 man? SUBTITLE 5 of 15 for above Question 24 The corporeal senses are the only source of evil or error. Christian Science shows them to be false, be- cause matter has no sensation, and no organic Organic 27 construction can give it hearing and sight nor construction make it the medium of Mind. Outside the valueless material sense of things, all is harmony. A wrong sense 30 of God, man, and creation is non-sense, want of sense. Mortal belief would have the material senses sometimes good and sometimes bad. It assures mortals that there 1 is real pleasure in sin; but the grand truths of Christian Science dispute this error.

SUBTITLE for above Question 9 Question. — Will you explain sickness and show how it is to be healed? Answer. — The method of Christian Science Mind-heal- 12 ing is touched upon in a previous chapter entitled Christian Science Practice. A full answer to the above Mental question involves teaching, which enables the preparation 15 healer to demonstrate and prove for himself the Principle and rule of Christian Science or metaphysical healing. Mind must be found superior to all the beliefs of the 18 five corporeal senses, and able to destroy all ills. Sick- ness is a belief, which must be annihilated by Mind destroys the divine Mind. Disease is an experience of all ills 21 so-called mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body. Christian Science takes away this physical sense of discord, just as it removes any other sense of moral or 24 mental inharmony. That man is material, and that mat- ter suffers, — these propositions can only seem real and natural in illusion. Any sense of soul in matter is not the 27 reality of being. If Jesus awakened Lazarus from the dream, illusion, of death, this proved that the Christ could improve on a false 30 sense. Who dares to doubt this consummate test of the power and willingness of divine Mind to hold man forever 1 intact in his perfect state, and to govern man's entire action? Jesus said: "Destroy this temple [body], and 3 in three days I [Mind] will raise it up;" and he did this for tired humanity's reassurance. Is it not a species of infidelity to believe that so great 6 a work as the Messiah's was done for himself or for God, who needed no help from Jesus' example to Inexhaustible preserve the eternal harmony? But mortals divine Love 9 did need this help, and Jesus pointed the way for them. Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need. It is not well to imagine that Jesus demon- 12 strated the divine power to heal only for a select number or for a limited period of time, since to all mankind and in every hour, divine Love supplies all good. 15 The miracle of grace is no miracle to Love. Jesus demonstrated the inability of corporeality, as well as the infinite ability of Spirit, thus helping erring Reason 18 human sense to flee from its own convictions and Science and seek safety in divine Science. Reason, rightly di- rected, serves to correct the errors of corporeal sense; but 21 sin, sickness, and death will seem real (even as the ex- periences of the sleeping dream seem real) until the Sci- ence of man's eternal harmony breaks their illusion with 24 the unbroken reality of scientific being. Which of these two theories concerning man are you ready to accept? One is the mortal testimony, changing, 27 dying, unreal. The other is the eternal and real evidence, bearing Truth's signet, its lap piled high with immortal fruits. 30 Our Master cast out devils (evils) and healed the sick. It should be said of his followers also, that they cast fear and all evil out of themselves and others and heal the sick. 1 God will heal the sick through man, whenever man is governed by God. Truth casts out error now Followers 3 as surely as it did nineteen centuries ago. All of Jesus of Truth is not understood; hence its healing power is not fully demonstrated. 6 If sickness is true or the idea of Truth, you cannot destroy sickness, and it would be absurd to try. Then classify sickness and error as our Master did, Destruction 9 when he spoke of the sick, "whom Satan hath of all evil bound," and find a sovereign antidote for error in the life- giving power of Truth acting on human belief, a power 12 which opens the prison doors to such as are bound, and sets the captive free physically and morally. When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling 15 steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought. Let neither Steadfast and fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust 18 calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious — as Life eternally is — can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not. Let Christian Science, 21 instead of corporeal sense, support your understanding of being, and this understanding will supplant error with Truth, replace mortality with immortality, and silence dis- 24 cord with harmony.

If Jesus awakened Lazarus from the dream, illusion, of death, this proved that the Christ could improve on a false 30 sense. Who dares to doubt this consummate test of the power and willingness of divine Mind to hold man forever 1 intact in his perfect state, and to govern man's entire action? Jesus said: "Destroy this temple [body], and 3 in three days I [Mind] will raise it up;" and he did this for tired humanity's reassurance. SHOW ALL |

Love - Inexhaustible divine Love | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 4 of 8 9 Question. — Will you explain sickness and show how it is to be healed? SUBTITLE 4 of 8 for above Question Is it not a species of infidelity to believe that so great 6 a work as the Messiah's was done for himself or for God, who needed no help from Jesus' example to Inexhaustible preserve the eternal harmony? But mortals divine Love 9 did need this help, and Jesus pointed the way for them. Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need. It is not well to imagine that Jesus demon- 12 strated the divine power to heal only for a select number or for a limited period of time, since to all mankind and in every hour, divine Love supplies all good.

Science - Reason and Science | QUESTION for this SUBTITLE 5 of 8 9 Question. — Will you explain sickness and show how it is to be healed? SUBTITLE 5 of 8 for above Question 15 The miracle of grace is no miracle to Love. Jesus demonstrated the inability of corporeality, as well as the infinite ability of Spirit, thus helping erring Reason 18 human sense to flee from its own convictions and Science and seek safety in divine Science. Reason, rightly di- rected, serves to correct the errors of corporeal sense; but 21 sin, sickness, and death will seem real (even as the ex- periences of the sleeping dream seem real) until the Sci- ence of man's eternal harmony breaks their illusion with 24 the unbroken reality of scientific being. Which of these two theories concerning man are you ready to accept? One is the mortal testimony, changing, 27 dying, unreal. The other is the eternal and real evidence, bearing Truth's signet, its lap piled high with immortal fruits. SHOW ALL |

It should be said of his followers also, that they cast fear and all evil out of themselves and others and heal the sick. 1 God will heal the sick through man, whenever man is governed by God. Truth casts out error now Followers 3 as surely as it did nineteen centuries ago. All of Jesus of Truth is not understood; hence its healing power is not fully demonstrated.SHOW ALL |

SUBTITLE for above Question Question. — How can I progress most rapidly in the understanding of Christian Science? 27 Answer. — Study thoroughly the letter and imbibe the spirit. Adhere to the divine Principle of Chris- tian Science and follow the behests of God, Rudiments 30 abiding steadfastly in wisdom, Truth, and and growth Love. In the Science of Mind, you will soon ascertain 1 that error cannot destroy error. You will also learn that in Science there is no transfer of evil suggestions 3 from one mortal to another, for there is but one Mind, and this ever-present omnipotent Mind is reflected by man and governs the entire universe. You will learn 6 that in Christian Science the first duty is to obey God, to have one Mind, and to love another as yourself. 9 We all must learn that Life is God. Ask yourself: Am I living the life that approaches the supreme good? Am I demonstrating the healing power of Condition 12 Truth and Love? If so, then the way will of progress grow brighter "unto the perfect day." Your fruits will prove what the understanding of God brings to man. 15 Hold perpetually this thought, — that it is the spiritual idea, the Holy Ghost and Christ, which enables you to demonstrate, with scientific certainty, the rule of healing, 18 based upon its divine Principle, Love, underlying, over- lying, and encompassing all true being. "The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is 21 the law," — the law of mortal belief, at war with the facts of immortal Life, even with the spiritual Triumph law which says to the grave, "Where is thy over death 24 victory?" But "when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on im- mortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that 27 is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."

Tenets of Christian Science - Have Christian Scientists any religious creed? | Question. — Have Christian Scientists any religious creed? 30 Answer. — They have not, if by that term is meant doctrinal beliefs. The following is a brief exposition of 1 the important points, or religious tenets, of Christian Science: — 3 1. As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life. 2. We acknowledge and adore one supreme and in- 6 finite God. We acknowledge His Son, one Christ; the Holy Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in God's image and likeness. 9 3. We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in sin is pun- 12 ished so long as the belief lasts. 4. We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evi- dence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity 15 with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the 18 Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death. 5. We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and 21 his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eter- nal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the noth- ingness of matter. 24 6. And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us; and 27 to be merciful, just, and pure.SHOW ALL |
