   1  intelligent. Mortal mind does the false talking, and that
     which affirms weariness, made that weariness.
   3      [[[You do not say a wheel is fatigued; and yet the body
     is as material as the wheel. If it were not for what the
     human mind says of the body, the body, like

    Mind never
    weary

   6  the inanimate wheel, would never be weary.
     The consciousness of Truth rests us more than hours of

   9      The body is supposed to say, "I am ill." The reports
     of sickness may form a coalition with the reports of sin,
     and say, "I am malice, lust, appetite, envy,

     God, divine Love, who is an ever-present help?
  24      Treat a belief in sickness as you would sin, with sudden
     dismissal. Resist the temptation to believe in matter as
     intelligent, as having sensation or power.
  27      The Scriptures say, "They that wait upon the Lord
     . . . shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk,
     and not faint." The meaning of that passage is not
  30  perverted by applying it literally to moments of fatigue,
     for the moral and physical are as one in their results.
