Does brain think, and do nerves feel, and is there intelligence in matter? (answer cont’d from yesterday)
Consciousness, as well as action, is governed by Mind,--is in God, the origin and governor of all that Science reveals.
The forbidden fruit of knowledge, against which wisdom warns man, is the testimony of error, declaring existence to be at the mercy of death, and good and evil to be capable of commingling. This is the significance of the Scripture concerning this "tree of the knowledge of good and evil,"--this growth of material belief, of which it is said: "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Human hypotheses first assume the reality of sickness, sin, and death, and then assume the necessity of these evils because of their admitted actuality. These human verdicts are the procurers of all discord.
When reading the Scriptures, the substitution of the word sense for soul gives the exact meaning in a majority of cases.
As used in Christian Science, Soul is properly the synonym of Spirit, or God; but out of Science, soul is identical with sense, with material sensation.
