These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works : behold, I have set  before thee an open door, and no man can shut it. — REVELATIONSHOW ALL

ADAM.  Error; a falsity; the belief in "original sin," sickness, and death; evil; the opposite of good, — of God and His creation; a curse; a belief in intelligent matter, finiteness, and mortality; "dust to dust;" red sand stone;  nothingness; the first god of mythology; not God's man, who represents the one God and is His own image and likeness; the opposite of Spirit and His creations; that which is not the image and likeness of good, but a material belief, opposed to the one Mind, or Spirit; a so-called finite mind, producing other minds, thus making "gods many and lords many" (I Corinthians viii. 5); a product of nothing as the mimicry of something; an unreality as opposed to the great reality of spiritual existence and creation; a so-called man, whose origin, substance, and mind are found to be the antipode of God, or Spirit; an inverted image of Spirit; the image  and likeness of what God has not created, namely, matter, sin, sickness, and death; the oppose of Truth, termed error; Life's counterfeit, which ultimate's in death; the opposite of Love, called hate; the usurper of Spirit's creation, called self-creative matter; immortality's opposite, mortality; that of which wisdom saith, "Thou shalt surely die." 

The name Adam represents the false supposition that Life is not eternal, but has beginning and end; that the infinite enters the finite, that intelligence passes into non-intelligence, and that Soul dwells in material sense; that immortal Mind results in matter, and matter in mortal mind; that the one God and creator entered what He created, and then disappeared in the atheism of matter.

ADVERSARY.  An adversary is one who opposes, denies, disputes, not one who constructs and sustains reality and Truth. Jesus said of the devil, "He was a murderer from the beginning, . . . he is a liar and the  father of it." 
This view of Satan is confirmed by the name often conferred upon him in Scripture, the "adversary." SHOW ALL

ARK.  Safety; the idea, or reflection, of Truth, proved to be as immortal as its Principle; the understanding of Spirit, destroying belief in matter. God and man coexistent and eternal; Science showing that the spiritual realities of all things  are created by Him and exist forever. The ark indicates temptation overcome and followed by exaltation.

BENJAMIN (Jacob's son).  A physical belief as to life, substance, and mind; human knowledge, or so-called mortal mind, devoted to matter; pride; envy; fame; illusion; a false belief; error masquerading as the possessor of life, strength, animation, and power  to act.

CHURCH.  The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle. 
The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs  to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.

DAY.  The irradiance of Life; light, the spiritual idea of Truth and Love. 

 "And the evening and the morning were the first day." (Genesis i. 5.) The objects of time and sense disappear in the illumination of spiritual  understanding, and Mind measures time according to the good that is unfolded. This unfolding is God's day, and "there shall be no night there." SHOW ALL

DEATH.  An illusion, the lie of life in matter; the unreal and untrue; the opposite of Life. Matter has no life, hence it has no real existence. Mind is immortal. The flesh, warring against Spirit; that which frets itself  free from one belief only to be fettered by another, until every belief of life where Life is not yields to eternal Life. Any material evidence of death is false, for it contradicts the spiritual facts of being. SHOW ALL

15	     LORD.  In the Hebrew, this term is sometimes em-
  	ployed as a title, which has the inferior sense of master,
  	or ruler. In the Greek, the word kurios almost always
18	has this lower  sense, unless specially coupled with the
  	name God. Its higher signification is Supreme Ruler. SHOW ALL

21	    This double term is not used in the first chapter of
  	Genesis, the record of spiritual creation. It is intro-
  	duced in the  second and following chapters, when the
24	spiritual sense of God and of infinity is disappearing
  	from the recorder's thought, — when the true scientific
  	statements of the Scriptures become clouded through a
 1	physical sense of God as finite and corporeal. From this
  	follow idolatry and mythology, — belief in many gods, or
 3	material intelligences, as the opposite of the one Spirit,
  	or intelligence, named Elohim, or God. SHOW ALL

 1	     UNKNOWN.  That which spiritual sense alone compre-
  	hends, and which is unknown to the material senses. 
 3	    Paganism and agnosticism may define Deity as "the
  	great unknowable;"  but Christian Science brings God
  	much nearer to man, and makes Him better known as
 6	the All-in-all, forever near. 
  	    Paul saw in Athens an altar dedicated "to the unknown
  	God." Referring to it, he said to the Athenians: "Whom

15	illuminator of all. The illuminations of Science give us

	     VEIL.  A cover; concealment; hiding; hypocrisy. 
  	    The Jewish women wore veils over their faces in token
 1	of reverence and submission and in accordance with
  	Pharisaical notions. 
  3	    The Judaic religion consisted mostly of rites and cere-
  	monies. The motives and affections of a man were of
  	little value, if only he appeared unto men to fast. The
 6	great Nazarene, as meek as he was mighty, rebuked the
  	hypocrisy, which offered long petitions for blessings upon
  	material methods, but cloaked the crime, latent in thought,
 9	which was ready to spring into action and crucify God's
  	anointed. The martyrdom of Jesus was the culminating
  	sin of Pharisaism. It rent the veil of the temple. It re-
12	vealed the false foundations and superstructures of super-
  	ficial religion, tore from bigotry and superstition their
  	coverings, and opened the sepulchre with divine Science,
15	 — immortality and Love. SHOW ALL

27	     WIND.  That which indicates the might of omnipo-
  	tence and the movements of God's spiritual government,
  	encompassing all things. Destruction; anger; mortal
30	passions. 
 1	    The Greek word for wind  (pneuma) is used also for
  	spirit, as in the passage in John's Gospel, the third chap-
 3	ter, where we read: "The wind [pneuma] bloweth where
  	it listeth. . . . So is every one that is born of the Spirit
  	[pneuma]." Here the original word is the same in both
 6	cases, yet it has received different translations, as in other
  	passages in this same chapter and elsewhere in the New
  	Testament. This shows how our Master had constantly
 9	to employ words of material significance in order to unfold
  	spiritual thoughts. In the record of Jesus' supposed
  	death, we read: "He bowed his head, and gave up the
12	ghost;" but this word ghost is pneuma. It might be trans-
  	lated wind or air, and the phrase is equivalent to our
  	common statement, "He breathed his last." What
15	Jesus gave up was indeed air, an etherealized form of
  	matter, for never did he give up Spirit, or Soul. SHOW ALL

  	     YEAR.  A solar measurement of time; mortality;
  	space for repentance. 
21	    "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years."
  	(II Peter iii. 8.) 
   	    One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual
24	understanding of Life and Love, is a foretaste of eternity. 
  	This exalted view, obtained and retained when the Sci-
  	ence of being is understood, would bridge over with life
27	discerned spiritually the interval of death, and man
  	would be in the full consciousness of his immortality and
  	eternal harmony, where sin, sickness, and death are un-
30	known. Time is a mortal thought, the divisor of which
