Human experience in mortal life, which starts from an egg, corresponds with that of Job, when he says, "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble." Mortals must emerge from this notion of material life as all-in-all. They must peck open their shells with Christian Science, and look outward and upward. But thought, loosened from a material basis but not yet instructed by Science, may become wild with freedom and so be self-contradictory.

Day 275:
Error of thought is reflected in error of action. The continual contemplation of existence as material and corporeal--as beginning and ending, and with birth, decay, and dissolution as its component stages--hides the true and spiritual Life, and causes our standard to trail in the dust. If Life has any starting point whatsoever, then the great I AM is a myth. If Life is God, as the Scriptures imply, then Life is not embryonic, it is infinite.

immortal.In this Science, we discover man in the image and likeness of God. We see that man has never lost his spiritual estate and his eternal harmony.

Outside of Christian Science all is vague and hypothetical, the opposite of Truth;

Day 271: Genesis iv.16
No mortal mind has the might or right or wisdom to create or to destroy. All is under the control of the one Mind, even God.

Day 270: Genesis iv. 3-15
Let Truth uncover and destroy error in God's own way, and let human justice pattern the divine. Sin will receive its full penalty, both for what it is and for what it does. Justice marks the sinner, and teaches mortals not to remove the waymarks of God.
