Since then the PHYSICISTS have come
out frankly and fairly and now say
inquiry concerning the nature and
character of the electron should b.
referred to the meta-physician,
and that the whole subject belongs
20 the domain of metaphysics and
not physics.
The far-reaching effects of this
is at once apparent, for it frankly
admits that the startingpoint OF
matter is not material, but mental.
The Importance of this cannot
be overestimated. All sin, dis
ease, and death come from the be-
lief of life, intelligence, sy':ls .tiop,
and substance in matter. If it be
true, and it now seems to be settl-
ed, that there is no life in matter
that it has no sensation or intellig-
ence, and is not substance, then it
follows that all material theories
concerning disease, and the method
of solving all human problems, will
have to be changed from a material
to a spiritual basis. If matter is
itself merely a thing of thought
objectified, it follows that disease
in whatever form, is also merely
the objectifcation of diseased be-
liefs upon the human body, and
that such beliefs originate in the
carnal mind, and not in the body,
but are manifested on the body on
ly after they are formulated in
the material or carnal mind. II
this be true, and it is true beyond
all possible question, it then fol-
lows that the correct way to trear
disease is not through matter, nor
by giving material remedies and
drugs to the body. but by destroy
ing the images of disease out of the
human mind.
Every one must see at a glance
that disease it not itself an entity.
1t has no mind, intelligence, Volt
ton, nor presence. Disease is
neither self-created nor was it ere
ated by God. 1t originates in the
first instance in the carnal human
mind in the form of diseased thor
and is then objectified on the body
by the material beliefs of that same
carnal mind. The true way to
cure it, therefore, is to give to tn,
human mind something thai will
neutralize and destroy the diseas,
producing qualities and beliefs
The thing that does this is thu
Christian truth, which Christian
Science brings to the human mind
and in this way Christian Science
has healed very many people from
all kinds of diseases.
Jesus knew that there was NJ
substance in matter, and he knee
it SO perfectly that he walked thru
solid doors and walls. He knew
what was true about matter, name.
~, that it is only the manifested
belief of the material, carnal IN; I'D
and since he did not have that mat.
erlal mind. matter did not appear
to him as substance. His consci.
ouness was spiritl1alized. He
knew that the only substance i;
Spirit, but because of the material
element i'll their consciousness the
people were unable to see or com.
prehend Spirit as substance. They
could only think of matter as sub
stance, and. therefore. to- them
matter appeared as substance.
knowing that there was no sub.
stance in matter, he knew that MAJ,
was not material. Mrs. Eddy
pointed out many years ago in
Science and Health Opp. 467, 477)
that Jesus saw the real man, and
where mortals saw the mortal man
and that his true view healed tn,
sick. The more one ponders over
this statement the more it becomes
apparent that it is necessarily true.
When there came to Jesus the
man who had been born blind and
who had grown from infancy ia
mature years without the perfect
organs of sight, Jesus healed him
instantly. He looked through the
veil and saw the real man, who in
every case, is perfect. Jesus knew
that God had never created one OF
his children without sight. God
made an imperfect man. Man be.
ing perfect has perfect spiritual
senses, and by seeing the perfect
man, Jesus pulled away the mask,
and allowed the perfect condition
to appear. When the paralytic
was brought to him, Jesus, by see
ing the real man, pulled away the
mask created by the material be-
liefs of the carnal mind. thus al.
lowing the real condition of har.
mOny and perfect being to AMMAN
