In the infinitude of Mind, matter must be unknown. Symbols and elements of discord and decay are not products of the infinite, perfect, and eternal All.

"Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into newness of life and recognizing no mortal nor material power as able to destroy."

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

"God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." (Genesis 1:27, 28)

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. ... they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought." (Isaiah 41:10, 12)

"For since the beginning of the world, men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him (Isaiah 64:4). Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established (Proverbs 16:3)."

"The Lord is my rock, in whom I will trust; The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple..."

"The lines of demarcation between immortal man, representing Spirit, and mortal man, representing the error that life and intelligence are in matter, show the pleasures and pains of matter to be myths, and human belief in them to be the father of mythology, in which matter is represented as divided into intelligent gods. Man’s genuine selfhood is recognizable only in what is good and true."

"Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth."

"In Science, man is the offspring of Spirit. His origin is not in brute instinct; Spirit is his primitive and ultimate source of being; God is his Father. His birthright is dominion, not subjection. The divine Mind gives man dominion over all things. Man's true essence is spiritual and perfect, reflecting the divine Mind. The true likeness cannot be lost in divine reflection. In Him we live, move, and have our being."

"Trials teach mortals not to lean on a material staff, ... Trials are proofs of God’s care."

"The harmony and immortality of man are intact. The divine understanding reigns, is all, and there is no other consciousness. The God-principle is omnipresent and omnipotent. God is everywhere, and nothing apart from Him is present or has power."

Hold perpetually this thought, — that it is the spiritual idea, the Holy Ghost and Christ, which enables you to demonstrate, with scientific certainty, the rule of healing, based upon its divine Principle, Love, underlying, overlying, and encompassing all true being.

We must look deep into realism instead of accepting only the outward sense of things.

Inspired thought relinquishes a material, sensual, and mortal theory of the universe, and adopts the spiritual and immortal. It is this spiritual perception of Scripture, which lifts humanity out of disease and death and inspires faith.
