it is a compound idea.

of the glory which is to come; metaphysics taking the
place of physics; the reign of righteousness. The atmosphere
of human belief before it accepts sin, sickness, or
death; a state of mortal thought, the only error of which
is limitation; finity; the opposite of infinity.

Eve. A beginning; mortality; that which does not
last forever; a finite belief concerning life, substance,
and intelligence in matter; error; the belief that the human
race originated materially instead of spiritually, -
that man started first from dust, second from a rib, and
third from an egg.
