ifests mortality, a false sense of soul. The delusion that
there is life in matter has no kinship with the Life supernal.
Unscientific introspection
319:3

Science depicts disease as error, as matter versus
Mind, and error reversed as subserving the facts of
health. To calculate one's life-prospects
from a material basis, would infringe upon
spiritual law and misguide human hope. Having faith

capitalization speak of the love of Love, meaning by that
what the beloved disciple meant in one of his epistles,
