"There is no life, truth, intelligence nor substance in matter.
All is infinite mind and its infinite manifestation,
for God is all in all,
Spirit is immortal truth:
matter is mortal error.
Spirit is the real and eternal;
matter is the unreal and temporal.
Spirit is God and man is His image and likeness.
Therefore man is not material, he is spiritual."
* The basic Christian Science mantra, known as "The Scientific Statement of Being," no less, is as follows: "There is no life, truth, intelligence nor substance in matter. All is infinite mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is all in all, Spirit is immortal truth: matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material, he is spiritual."
The fact that these statements are, in terms of the scientific criteria, "meaningless," "non-operational," and "footless" is actually totally irrelevant.
They work.
Try them and see.
As Aleister Crowley, no friend of Mrs. Eddy's, wrote,
"Enough of 'Because'!
May he be damned for a dog!"
