Rh “And the evening and the morning were the first day.” (Genesis i. 5.) The objects of time and sense, illumined by spiritual understanding, disappear, and Mind measures time according to the Good it unfolds. This unfolding is God's day; “and there shall be no night there.”

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 it is not, yields to eternal Life. Any material evidence of death is false, for it contradicts the spiritual facts of Being.

Evil; a lie; error; neither corporeality nor mind; the opposite of Truth; a belief in sin, sickness, and death; animal magnetism; the lust of the flesh, which saith: “I am life and intelligence in matter. There is more than one mind, for I am mind, — a wicked mind, self-made, or created by Jehovah, and put into the opposite of Mind, termed Matter, thence to reproduce a mortal universe, including man, not after the image and likeness of Spirit, but after my own image.”

A symbol of Divine Science; purity and peace; hope and faith.

Nothingness; the want of substance, life, or intelligence.
