GLOSSARY.
535
 

Earth. A sphere; a type of Eternity and Immortality, which are likewise without beginning or end.

To material sense, Earth is matter; to spiritual sense, it is a compound idea.


Elias. Prophecy; spiritual evidence, opposed to material sense; Science, whereby to discern the spiritual fact of whatever the material senses behold; the basis of immortality.

“Elias truly shall first come and restore all things.” (Matt. xvii. 11.)


Euphrates. Divine Science, encompassing the universe and man; the true idea of God; a type of the millennial glory which is to come; Metaphysics taking the place of physics; the reign of righteousness; the atmosphere of a finite belief, before it accepted sin, sickness, or death; a state of sinless mortal thought, whose only error is limitation; finity; the opposite of infinity.


Eve. A beginning; mortality; that which does not last forever; a finite belief of life, substance, and intelligence in matter; error; the belief that the human race originated materially instead of spiritually, — that man started firstly from dust, secondly from a rib, and thirdly from an egg; self-imposed folly, and its consequences.


Evening. Mistiness of mortal thought; weariness of mortal mind; obscured views; peace and rest.


Eyes. Spiritual discernment; not matter, but a faculty of Mind.

Jesus said, thinking of the outward vision, “Having eyes, see ye not?” (Mark viii. 18.)
