power of the Principle underlying those ideas. The reflection, through mental propagation, of the Propagation. multitudinous forms of Mind which people the realm of the real, is controlled by Mind, which is their Principle. This multiplication comes from no power of propagation in themselves or in matter.
The minutiæ and grandeur of lesser individualities reflect the one divine Individuality. They are comprehended in Soul and formed by Spirit, not by material sensation. Whatever reflects Life, Truth, and Love is spiritually conceived and brought forth. All the vanity of the ages can never make both these contradictions true. Divine Science lays the axe at the root of the illusion that life, or mind, is in the material body; and it will eventually destroy this illusion, through the self-destruction of all error, and a beatified understanding of the Science of Life, which overcomes death.
A decided error is the belief that pain and pleasure, Error defined. life and death, holiness and unholiness, mingle in man; and that mortal, material man is the likeness of God.
God, without the image and likeness of Himself, would be a nonentity, or Mind unexpressed. God Nonentity. would be without a witness or proof of His own nature. Spiritual man is the idea of God, an idea which cannot be lost, or separated from its divine Principle. When the evidence before the material senses yielded to spiritual sense, the apostle declared that nothing could alienate him from God, from the sweet sense and presence of Life and Truth.
It is ignorance and belief alone, based on a material view of things, which hide spiritual beauty and goodness.
