“I” -13

     But the understanding of scripture is what we need, to restore the harmony of being and gain its Principle, the Father’s house, where the prodigal returns, and the perfection of man appears. Christ said, “Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, else believe me for my works’ sake”, i. e., understand that I am Intelligence, and not matter, and that Intelligence is God, (there is no evil Intelligence) else believe this for the demonstration it brings, healing the sick, and casting out error.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.260)

     When matter or muscles claim, “I am tired,” let Spirit contradict this;  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.201)

“I” -11

     After severe toil, we say, I am fatigued, naturally concluding the muscles have been overtasked and need repose; but our only safe and permanent method to overcome a sense of fatigue is to deny the ability of personal sense, to make us weary, and let mind triumph over matter, with the opposite argument that saith, I am not tired, for the “I” is Spirit, and not matter; bid the physical report depart, even as you would a temptation to sin. It is science, to put down the arguments of personal sense, with the higher ones of Soul.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.198)

“I” -10

     For being to quicken into Truth and Life, outside of matter, is not a trance, nor the change called death; nor is there anything in it to awaken dread, or superstition; it is the foot-steps of progress, that we all must take to be immortal; in science, it is as natural and painless a development, as the unfolding of buds into blossoms. When we shut out the belief of Life in matter, the transition from matter to Spirit, will not be through death; but Truth and Life, brought to light; the Master Said, “I will not leave you comfortless, I, Truth, will come unto you.”  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.184)

“I” -9

     Because Jesus understood God better than did the Rabbis, he arrived at the conclusion in advance of them he was Spirit and not matter, and that these never blend; also, that there is but one Spirit, or Intelligence, therefore but one God, one Life, Love and Truth. 

     When we possess a true sense of our oneness with God, and learn we are Spirit alone, and not matter, we shall have no such opinions as these, but will triumph over all sickness, sin, and death, thus proving our God-being.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.155)

“I” -8

     Jesus said, “I and the Father are one,” that is, I am Soul and not body, Spirit and not matter, hence there is but one Intelligence or Soul because there is but one God; recollect “I” signifies God, and not man; Principle, and not person; Spirit, and not matter; and this is the science of Soul and body that enables us to heal the sick on the Principle or Truth of man; viz., that “in God we live, move and have being”; Spirit and not matter hold the issues of Life.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.149)

“I” -7

     To understand that “I” is Intelligence, and this the one God, enables man to gain the immortality of Soul, and to destroy the errors of sense, and make the body harmonious and eternal, because it is governed by Spirit; but to believe ourself nerves, bones, brain, etc., is to accept the aid of matter to control the body, virtually admitting God incapable of the entire government of man.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.152)

     We find no diminution of happiness in learning we are Spirit and not matter, Soul and not body; but a vast increase of all that elevates, purifies, and blesses man.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.185)

     The less we admit matter intelligent, and cease to call the body “I,” the more we gather ourself in the good, outside of evil, and the sooner will God be understood, and man will be found the image and likeness of God.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1^st Edition., p.151)
