Chapter X - Science Of Being
Infinite Spirit
335:1
There are neither spirits many nor gods many. There
There are neither spirits many nor gods many. There
is no evil in Spirit, because God is Spirit. The theory,
that Spirit is distinct from matter but must
pass through it, or into it, to be individualized,
would reduce God to dependency on matter, and establish
a basis for pantheism.
The only substance
335:7
XVIII. Spirit, God, has created all in and of Him-
XVIII. Spirit, God, has created all in and of Him-
self. Spirit never created matter. There is nothing in
Spirit out of which matter could be made,
for, as the Bible declares, without the Logos,
the AEon or Word of God, "was not anything made
that was made." Spirit is the only substance, the in-
visible and indivisible infinite God. Things spiritual and
eternal are substantial. Things material and temporal
are insubstantial.
Soul and Spirit one
335:16
XIX. Soul and Spirit being one, God and Soul are
XIX. Soul and Spirit being one, God and Soul are
one, and this one never included in a limited mind or a
limited body. Spirit is eternal, divine. Noth-
ing but Spirit, Soul, can evolve Life, for Spirit
is more than all else. Because Soul is immortal, it does
not exist in mortality. Soul must be incorporeal to be
Spirit, for Spirit is not finite. Only by losing the false
sense of Soul can we gain the eternal unfolding of Life as
immortality brought to light.
The one divine Mind

XX. Mind is the divine Principle, Love, and can pro-
duce nothing unlike the eternal Father-Mother, God.
Reality is spiritual, harmonious, immutable,
immortal, divine, eternal. Nothing unspirit-
ual can be real, harmonious, or eternal. Sin, sickness,
and mortality are the suppositional antipodes of Spirit,
and must be contradictions of reality.
The divine Ego

would imply and impose ignorance. Mind is the I AM,
would imply and impose ignorance. Mind is the I AM,
or infinity. Mind never enters the finite. Intelligence
never passes into non-intelligence, or matter.
Good never enters into evil the unlimited into
the limited, the eternal into the temporal, nor the im-
mortal into mortality. The divine Ego, or individuality,
is reflected in all spiritual individuality from the infini-
tesimal to the infinite.
The real manhood
336:9
XXII. Immortal man was and is God's image or idea,
XXII. Immortal man was and is God's image or idea,
even the infinite expression of infinite Mind, and immor-
tal man is coexistent and coeternal with that
Mind. He has been forever in the eternal
Mind, God; but infinite Mind can never be in man, but
is reflected by man. The spiritual man's consciousness
and individuality are reflections of God. They are the
emanations of Him who is Life, Truth, and Love. Im-
mortal man is not and never was material, but always
spiritual and eternal.
Indivisibility of the infinite
336:19
XXIII. God is indivisible. A portion of God could
XXIII. God is indivisible. A portion of God could
not enter man; neither could God's fulness be reflected
by a single man, else God would be manifestly
finite, lose the deific character, and become
less than God. Allness is the measure of the infinite, and
nothing less can express God.
God the parent Mind
336:25
XXIV. God, the divine Principle of man, and man in
XXIV. God, the divine Principle of man, and man in
God's likeness are inseparable, harmonious, and eternal.
The Science of being furnishes the rule of per-
fection, and brings immortality to light. God
and man are not the same, but in the order of divine Sci-
ence, God and man coexist and are eternal. God is the
parent Mind, and man is God's spiritual offspring.
Man reflects the perfect God
