Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures Part 82
BAPTISM. Purification by Spirit; submergence in 581:24 Spirit.
We are "willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (II Corinthians v. 8.)
582:1 BELIEVING. Firmness and constancy; not a faltering nor a blind faith, but the perception of spiritual Truth.
582:3 Mortal thoughts, illusion.
BENJAMIN (Jacob's son). A physical belief as to life, substance, and mind; human knowledge, or so-called 582:6 mortal mind, devoted to matter; pride; envy; fame; illusion; a false belief; error masquerading as the pos- sessor of life, strength, animation, and power to act.
582:9 Renewal of affections; self-offering; an improved state of mortal mind; the introduction of a more spiritual origin; a gleam of the infinite idea of the infinite Prin- 582:12 ciple; a spiritual type; that which comforts, consoles, and supports.
BRIDE. Purity and innocence, conceiving man in the 582:15 idea of G.o.d; a sense of Soul, which has spiritual bliss and enjoys but cannot suffer.
BRIDEGROOM. Spiritual understanding; the pure con- 582:18 sciousness that G.o.d, the divine Principle, creates man as His own spiritual idea, and that G.o.d is the only crea- tive power.
582:21 BURIAL. Corporeality and physical sense put out of sight and hearing; annihilation. Submergence in Spirit; immortality brought to light.
582:24 CANAAN (the son of Ham). A sensuous belief; the testimony of what is termed material sense; the error which would make man mortal and would make mortal 582:27 mind a slave to the body.
CHILDREN. The spiritual thoughts and representa- tives of Life, Truth, and Love.
583:1 Sensual and mortal beliefs; counterfeits of creation, whose better originals are G.o.d's thoughts, not in em- 583:3 bryo, but in maturity; material suppositions of life, sub- stance, and intelligence, opposed to the Science of being.
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. The representatives of Soul, not 583:6 corporeal sense; the offspring of Spirit, who, having wrestled with error, sin, and sense, are governed by divine Science; some of the ideas of G.o.d beheld as men, casting 583:9 out error and healing the sick; Christ's offspring.
CHRIST. The divine manifestation of G.o.d, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error.
583:12 CHURCH. The structure of Truth and Love; what- ever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle.
The Church is that inst.i.tution, which affords proof of 583:15 its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the ap- prehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of 583:18 divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.
CREATOR. Spirit; Mind; intelligence; the animating 583:21 divine Principle of all that is real and good; self-existent Life, Truth, and Love; that which is perfect and eternal; the opposite of matter and evil, which have no Prin- 583:24 ciple; G.o.d, who made all that was made and could not create an atom or an element the opposite of Himself.
DAN (Jacob's son). Animal magnetism; so-called mor- 583:27 tal mind controlling mortal mind; error, working out the designs of error; one belief preying upon another.
584:1 DAY. The irradiance of Life; light, the spiritual idea of Truth and Love.
584:3 "And the evening and the morning were the first day."
(Genesis i. 5.) The objects of time and sense disappear in the illumination of spiritual understanding, and Mind 584:6 measures time according to the good that is unfolded.
This unfolding is G.o.d's day, and "there shall be no night there."
584:9 DEATH. An illusion, the lie of life in matter; the un- real and untrue; the opposite of Life.
Matter has no life, hence it has no real existence. Mind 584:12 is immortal. The flesh, warring against Spirit; that which frets itself free from one belief only to be fettered by another, until every belief of life where Life is not 584:15 yields to eternal Life. Any material evidence of death is false, for it contradicts the spiritual facts of being.
DEVIL. Evil; a lie; error; neither corporeality nor 584:18 mind; the opposite of Truth; a belief in sin, sickness, and death; animal magnetism or hypnotism; the l.u.s.t of the flesh, which saith: "I am life and intelligence in 584:21 matter. There is more than one mind, for I am mind, - a wicked mind, self-made or created by a tribal G.o.d and put into the opposite of mind, termed matter, thence to 584:24 reproduce a mortal universe, including man, not after the image and likeness of Spirit, but after its own image."
DOVE. A symbol of divine Science; purity and peace; 584:27 hope and faith.
DUST. Nothingness; the absence of substance, life, or intelligence.
585:1 EARS. Not organs of the so-called corporeal senses, but spiritual understanding.
585:3 Jesus said, referring to spiritual perception, "Having ears, hear ye not?" (Mark viii. 18.)
EARTH. A sphere; a type of eternity and immortality, 585:6 which are likewise without beginning or end.
To material sense, earth is matter; to spiritual sense, it is a compound idea.
585:9 ELIAS. Prophecy; spiritual evidence opposed to mate- rial sense; Christian Science, with which can be discerned the spiritual fact of whatever the material senses behold; 585:12 the basis of immortality.
"Elias truly shall first come and restore all things."
(Matthew xvii. 11.) 585:15 ERROR. See chapter on Recapitulation, page 472.
EUPHRATES (river). Divine Science encompa.s.sing the universe and man; the true idea of G.o.d; a type 585:18 of the glory which is to come; metaphysics taking the place of physics; the reign of righteousness. The atmos- phere of human belief before it accepts sin, sickness, or 585:21 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 585:24 last forever; a finite belief concerning life, substance, and intelligence in matter; error; the belief that the hu- man race originated materially instead of spiritually, - 585:27 that man started first from dust, second from a rib, and third from an egg.
586:1 EVENING. Mistiness of mortal thought; weariness of mortal mind; obscured views; peace and rest.
586:3 EYES. Spiritual discernment, - not material but mental. Jesus said, thinking of the outward vision, "Having 586:6 eyes, see ye not?" (Mark viii. 18.)
FAN. Separator of fable from fact; that which gives action to thought.
586:9 FATHER. Eternal Life; the one Mind; the divine Principle, commonly called G.o.d.
586:15 FIRMAMENT. Spiritual understanding; the scientific line of demarcation between Truth and error, between Spirit and so-called matter.
586:18 FLESH. An error of physical belief; a supposition that life, substance, and intelligence are in matter; an illusion; a belief that matter has sensation.
586:21 GAD (Jacob's son). Science; spiritual being under- stood; haste towards harmony.
GETHSEMANE. Patient woe; the human yielding to 586:24 the divine; love meeting no response, but still remaining love.
587:1 GHOST. An illusion; a belief that mind is outlined and limited; a supposition that spirit is finite.
587:3 GIHON (river). The rights of woman acknowledged morally, civilly, and socially.
G.o.d. The great I AM; the all-knowing, all-seeing, 587:6 all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence.
587:9 G.o.dS. Mythology; a belief that life, substance, and intelligence are both mental and material; a supposition of sentient physicality; the belief that infinite Mind is in 587:12 finite forms; the various theories that hold mind to be a material sense, existing in brain, nerve, matter; supposi- t.i.tious minds, or souls, going in and out of matter, erring 587:15 and mortal; the serpents of error, which say, "Ye shall be as G.o.ds."
G.o.d is one G.o.d, infinite and perfect, and cannot be- 587:18 come finite and imperfect.
