CHAPTER XIII.
GENESIS.
| These are Thy glorious works, Parent of good, — |
| Almighty, Thine this universal frame, |
| Thus wondrous fair. Thyself how wondrous, then, |
| Unspeakable, who sittest above these heavens, |
| To us invisible, or dimly seen |
| In these Thy lowest works; yet these declare |
| Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine. |
| Milton. |
SPIRITUALLY followed, Genesis is the history of
the fallen image of God, named mortal man. This
deflection of being, rightly viewed, serves to suggest the
proper reflection of God and spiritual actuality of man,
as given in the first chapter of Genesis.
The sun is a figure of Soul outside the body, giving Life and Intelligence to mortal men, the poor representatives of the immortals. When the crude forms of human thought take on higher symbols and significations, my scientific theory of the universe and man will be understood, and hailed with head and heart.
In the following exegesis, each text is followed by its spiritual interpretation, according to the teachings of Christian Science.
