Mortal mind is the acknowledged seat of human mo‐24tives. It forms material concepts and produces every Antagonistic sourcesdiscordant action of the body. If action pro‐ceeds from the divine Mind, action is harmo‐27nious. If it comes from erring mortal mind, it is discord‐ant and ends in sin, sickness, death. Those two opposite sources never mingle in fount or stream. The perfect 30Mind sends forth perfection, for God is Mind. Imper‐fect mortal mind sends forth its own resemblances, of which the wise man said, “All is vanity.”
240:1 Nature voices natural, spiritual law and divine Love, but human belief misinterprets nature. Arctic regions, 3Some lessons from naturesunny tropics, giant hills, winged winds, mighty billows, verdant vales, festive flowers, and glorious heavens, — all point to Mind, the spiritual 6intelligence they reflect. The floral apostles are hiero‐glyphs of Deity. Suns and planets teach grand lessons. The stars make night beautiful, and the leaflet turns nat‐9urally towards the light.
In the order of Science, in which the Principle is above what it reflects, all is one grand concord. Change this 12Perpetual motionstatement, suppose Mind to be governed by matter or Soul in body, and you lose the key‐note of being, and there is continual discord. Mind is 15perpetual motion. Its symbol is the sphere. The rota‐tions and revolutions of the universe of Mind go on eternally.
18 Mortals move onward towards good or evil as time glides on. If mortals are not progressive, past failures Progress demandedwill be repeated until all wrong work is ef‐21faced or rectified. If at present satisfied with wrong-doing, we must learn to loathe it. If at present content with idleness, we must become dissatisfied with 24it. Remember that mankind must sooner or later, either by suffering or by Science, be convinced of the error that is to be overcome.
27 In trying to undo the errors of sense one must pay fully and fairly the utmost farthing, until all error is finally brought into subjection to Truth. The divine method 30of paying sin’s wages involves unwinding one’s snarls, and learning from experience how to divide between sense and Soul.
