Brains can give no idea of God's man. They can take no cognizance of Mind. They are not the organ of the Infinite. As mortals give up their delusion that there is more than one Mind, they will gain the likeness of God, the eternal good, and include in it no other mental element.

As a material life-basis is found to be a misapprehension of existence, the spiritual and divine Principle of man will dawn upon human thought, and lead to “where the young child lies,” even to the spiritual idea of Life and what it includes.

The human mind must escape from its own barriers. It should no longer ask of the head, heart, or lungs, What is man's prospect for life? Mind is not helpless. Intelligence is not mute before non-intelligence.

Whatsoever is incompetent to explain Soul, had better not undertake the explanation of body. Life is, was, and ever will be independent of matter; for Life is God, and man is the idea of God, that dust can neither make nor unmake.

Mortality causes sickness, and then, to cure it, recommends a double dose. It is like a physical irritation, which we falsely attribute to the quantity, rather than the quality, of some drug which has been taken. The Science of Being reveals man and immortality as based on Spirit. Personal sense defines mortal man as based on matter; and thence infers the mortality of the body.
