Day 246: Today’s Question

489:24-491:16

Do the five corporeal senses constitute man? (continued from yesterday)

Outside the material sense of things, all is harmony. A wrong sense of God, man, and creation is non-sense, want of sense.

Will-power is but a product of belief, and this belief commits depredations on harmony. Human will is an animal propensity, not a faculty of Soul. Hence it cannot govern man aright.

Matter cannot connect mortals with the true origin and facts of being, in which all must end. It is only by acknowledging the supremacy of Spirit, which annuls the claims of matter, that mortals can lay off mortality and find the indissoluble spiritual link which establishes man forever in the divine likeness, inseparable from his creator.
