the varying clouds of mortal belief, which hide the truth
of being.
311:3
What we term mortal mind or carnal mind, dependent
What we term mortal mind or carnal mind, dependent
on matter for manifestation, is not Mind. God is Mind:
all that Mind, God, is, or hath made, is good, and He
made all. Hence evil is not made and is not real.
Sin only of the flesh
311:7
Soul is immortal because it is Spirit, which has no ele-
Soul is immortal because it is Spirit, which has no ele-
ment of self-destruction. Is man lost spiritually? No,
he can only lose a sense material. All sin is
of the flesh. It cannot be spiritual. Sin exists
here or hereafter only so long as the illusion of mind in
matter remains. It is a sense of sin, and not a sinful soul,
which is lost. Evil is destroyed by the sense of good.
Soul impeccable
311:14
Through false estimates of soul as dwelling in sense
Through false estimates of soul as dwelling in sense
and of mind as dwelling in matter, belief strays into a
sense of temporary loss or absence of soul, spir-
itual truth. This state of error is the mortal
dream of life and substance as existent in matter, and is
directly opposite to the immortal reality of being. So long
as we believe that soul can sin or that immortal Soul is in
mortal body, we can never understand the Science of be-
ing. When humanity does understand this Science, it
will become the law of Life to man, – even the higher law
of Soul, which prevails over material sense through har-
mony and immortality.
311:26

The objects cognized by the physical senses have not
the reality of substance. They are only what mortal
belief calls them. Matter, sin, and mortality lose all
supposed consciousness or claim to life or existence, as
mortals lay off a false sense of life, substance, and intelli-
gence, but the spiritual, eternal man is not touched by
these phases of mortality.
