 |
| 1 | that this phantasm of mortal mind disappears as we better |
| | apprehend our spiritual existence and ascend the ladder |
| 3 | of life. |
| | This person learned that food affects the body only |
| | as mortal mind has its material methods of working, one |
| 6 | of which is to believe that proper food supplies nutriment |
| | and strength to the human system. He learned also that |
| | mortal mind makes a mortal body, whereas Truth re- |
| 9 | generates this fleshly mind and feeds thought with the |
| | bread of Life. |
| | Food had less power to help or to hurt him after he |
| 12 | had availed himself of the fact that Mind governs man, |
| | and he also had less faith in the so-called pleasures and |
| | pains of matter. Taking less thought about what he |
| 15 | should eat or drink, consulting the stomach less about |
| | the economy of living and God more, he recovered |
| | strength and flesh rapidly. For many years he had |
| 18 | been kept alive, as was believed, only by the strictest ad- |
| | herence to hygiene and drugs, and yet he continued ill |
| | all the while. Now he dropped drugs and material |
| 21 | hygiene, and was well. |
| | He learned that a dyspeptic was very far from being |
| | the image and likeness of God,--far from having "do- |
| 24 | minion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the |
| | air, and over the cattle," if eating a bit of animal flesh |
| | could overpower him. He finally concluded that God |
| 27 | never made a dyspeptic, while fear, hygiene, physiology, |
| | and physics had made him one, contrary to His commands. |
| | In seeking a cure for dyspepsia consult matter not at |
| 30 | all, and eat what is set before you, "asking | Life only
in Spirit |
| | no question for conscience sake." [[[We must |
| | destroy the false belief that life and intelligence are in |
| 1 | matter, and plant ourselves upon what is pure and per- |
| | fect. Paul said, "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not |
| 3 | fulfil the lust of the flesh." Sooner or later we shall learn |
| | that the fetters of man's finite capacity are forged by the |
| | illusion that he lives in body instead of in Soul, in matter |
| 6 | instead of in Spirit.]]] |
| | Matter does not express Spirit. God is infinite omni- |
| | present Spirit. If Spirit is all and is everywhere, what |
| 9 | and where is matter? Remember that truth | Soul greater
than body |
| | is greater than error, and we cannot put the |
| | greater into the less. Soul is Spirit, and Spirit is greater |
| 12 | than body. If Spirit were once within the body, Spirit |
| | would be finite, and therefore could not be Spirit. |
| | The question, "What is Truth," convulses the world. |
| 15 | Many are ready to meet this inquiry with the assurance |
| | which comes of understanding; but more are | The question
of the ages |
| | blinded by their old illusions, and try to "give |
| 18 | it pause." "If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into |
| | the ditch." |
| | The efforts of error to answer this question by some |
| 21 | ology are vain. Spiritual rationality and free thought ac- |
| | company approaching Science, and cannot be put down. |
| | They will emancipate humanity, and supplant unscientific |
| 24 | means and so-called laws. |
| | Peals that should startle the slumbering thought from |
| | its erroneous dream are partially unheeded; but the last |
| 27 | trump has not sounded, or this would not be | Heralds of
Science |
| | so. Marvels, calamities, and sin will much |
| | more abound as truth urges upon mortals its resisted |
| 30 | claims; but the awful daring of sin destroys sin, and |
| | foreshadows the triumph of truth. God will over- |
| | turn, until "He come whose right it is." Longevity |
