   1      If we are sensibly with the body and regard omnipo-
     tence as a corporeal, material person, whose ear we
   3  would gain, we are not "absent from the

    Bodily
    presence

     body" and "present with the Lord" in the
     demonstration of Spirit. We cannot "serve two mas-
   6  ters." To be "present with the Lord" is to have, not
     mere emotional ecstasy or faith, but the actual demon-
     stration and understanding of Life as revealed in
   9  Christian Science. To be "with the Lord" is to be in
     obedience to the law of God, to be absolutely governed
     by divine Love,--by Spirit, not by matter.
  12      [[[Become conscious for a single moment that Life and
     intelligence are purely spiritual,--neither in nor of
     matter,--and the body will then utter no

    Spiritualized
    consciousness

  15  complaints. If suffering from a belief in
     sickness, you will find yourself suddenly well. Sorrow
     is turned into joy when the body is controlled by spir-
  18  itual Life, Truth, and Love.]]] Hence the hope of the
     promise Jesus bestows: "He that believeth on me,
     the works that I do shall he do also; . . . because I
  21  go unto my Father,"--[because the Ego is absent from
     the body, and present with Truth and Love.] The
     Lord's Prayer is the prayer of Soul, not of material
  24  sense.
         Entirely separate from the belief and dream of mate-
     rial living, is the Life divine, revealing spiritual under-
  27  standing and the consciousness of man's dominion
     over the whole earth. This understanding casts out
     error and heals the sick, and with it you can speak
  30  "as one having authority."
         "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and,
     when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father
