Matter and its claims of sin, sickness, and death are
contrary to God, and cannot emanate from Him. There
is no material truth. The physical senses can take no
cognizance of God and spiritual Truth. Human belief
has sought out many inventions, but not one of them
can solve the problem of being without the divine Principle
of divine Science. Deductions from material hypotheses
are not scientific. They differ from real Science
because they are not based on the divine law.
(Science versus sense)
Divine Science reverses the false testimony of the material
senses, and thus tears away the foundations
of error. Hence the enmity between
Science and the senses, and the impossibility
of attaining perfect understanding till the errors of sense
are eliminated.
The so-called laws of matter and of medical science have
never made mortals whole, harmonious, and immortal.
Man is harmonious when governed by Soul. Hence the
importance of understanding the truth of being, which
reveals the laws of spiritual existence.
(Spiritual law the only law)
God never ordained a material law to annul the spiritual
law. If there were such a material law, it would oppose
the supremacy of Spirit, God, and impugn the
wisdom of the creator. Jesus walked on the
waves, fed the multitude, healed the sick, and raised the
dead in direct opposition to material laws. His acts were
the demonstration of Science, overcoming the false claims
of material sense or law.
(Material knowledge illusive)
Science shows that material, conflicting mortal opinions
and beliefs emit the effects of error at all times, but
this atmosphere of mortal mind cannot be destructive to
morals and health when it is opposed promptly and persistently
