“And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, to divide them.” The firmament was the understanding, that divided the waters into those “above,” and those “below,” into the spiritual and material, that we learn are separated forever; identity was given the idea, representing immortal man; the material, or mortal man, was belief. (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1st ed., p.230)
