METAPHYSICAL HEALING – 4
God is Principle, Soul, Spirit, Life. There is no other life or intelligence. No discord or inharmony exists therein, thereby, or emanates therefrom. Immortal man is the offspring of God, Soul, of immortality, and not of mortality nor mortal man. He is spiritual; and the image or likeness of God. Nothing is true or real but God and His idea, which is shadowed forth in the eternal existence, or spirituality, of all existence, of all God’s creation. Mortal things are but the semblance of the true idea of God and, therefore, nothing in themselves. God, Spirit, Soul, cannot suffer. Mortal body or matter cannot suffer or make its own conditions, nor cause pain in Spirit or Soul. Mary Baker Eddy (Carpenter, Gilbert, Essays On Christian Science, p.75)
