Rh Let us accept Science, relinquish all theories based on sense-testimony, give up imperfect models and illusive forms; and so let us have but one God, one Mind, and that one perfect, producing its own models of excellence. Let the male and female of His creating appear. Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into newness of Life, and recognizing no mortal or material power as able to destroy. Let us rejoice that we are subject to “the powers that be.” Such is the true Science of Being. Any material theory of Life, or God, is delusive mythology.

In a higher sense than Heine dreamed, his words are true: —

There are no antagonistic powers or laws, either spiritual or material, creating and governing man in perpetual warfare. Minute chronological data are no part of the great forever.

Mind is not the author of matter, and the Creator of ideas is not the creator of illusions. Either there is no omnipotence, or omnipotence is all-in-all. The Infinite never began or ended. Mind and its formations can never be extinguished.

Life, like Christ, is “the same yesterday, to-day, and forever.” Organization and time have nothing to do
