206 all might is divine Mind. Thought will finally be understood and seen in all form, substance, and color, but without material accompaniments. The potter is not in the clay; else the clay would have power over the potter. God is His own infinite Mind, and governs all.

Day may decline and shadows fall, but darkness flees when the earth has again turned upon its axis. The

sun is not affected by the revolution of the earth. So Science reveals Soul as God, untouched by sin and death, as the central Life and Intelligence, around which circle harmoniously all things in the systems of Mind.

Soul changeth not. We are commonly taught that there is a human soul which sins, and is lost spiritually,

— that soul may be lost, and yet is immortal. If Soul could sin, Spirit would be material instead of spiritual. It is the thought, or motive, of material sense which sins. If Soul sinned, Soul would die. Sin is the element of self-destruction, and spiritual death is oblivion. Then the annihilation of Spirit would be inevitable. The only Life is Spirit, and if Spirit loses Life as God, Spirit hath no other existence, and would become nothingness.

Soul, or Mind, is not seen by a corporeal sense, because it is Spirit, which physical sight cannot discern. There is neither growth, maturity, nor decay in Soul. These errors are the mutations of sense, the varying clouds of mortal belief, which hide the Truth of Being.

What is termed mortal mind, or evil spirit, — erring, sinning, and dependent on matter for manifestation and life, — is not Mind. All that Mind is, or hath made, is good, and He made all; hence there is no evil.
