There are neither spirits many nor gods many. There
is no evil in Spirit, because God is Spirit. The theory,
that Spirit is distinct from matter but must
pass through it, or into it, to be individualized,
would reduce God to dependency on matter, and establish
a basis for pantheism.
(-18- The only substance)
XVIII. Spirit, God, has created all in and of

are insubstantial.

not exist in mortality. Soul must be incorporeal to be
Spirit, for Spirit is not finite. Only by losing the false
sense of Soul can we gain the eternal unfolding of Life as
immortality brought to light.

and mortality are the suppositional antipodes of Spirit,
and must be contradictions of reality.
