human mind can make a healthy organ cease to act, the Divine Mind can more readily make the action of being harmonious and eternal. Divine Mind does all that. The only difficulty is to see and acknowledge it, yield to this power, and fall at the feet of Truth.
Mortal mind produces what is termed organic disease as certainly as it produces hysteria, and must undo its own errors, sicknesses, and sins. I have demonstrated this beyond all cavil. The evidence of Mind's absolute control is to me as sure as the evidence of my existence.
Mortal mind and body are one. Neither exists without the other, and both must be changed by the immortal. Mortal matter is but a false conception of this mortal mind. It builds its own superstructures, of which the body is the grosser and more basal portion — a material and sensual belief first and last.
Evil is a negation, because it is the absence of good. It is nothing, because it is the absence of something; and it is error, because it presupposes the absence of Truth, when really Truth is omnipresent. That there is no power in evil, we all need to learn.
Error is self-assertive, saying, “I am an Ego, overmastering good.” This falsehood exposes its falsity, and should strip it of all pretensions. The only power of evil is to destroy itself. It can never destroy an iota of good. Every attempt of evil to do that has been a failure, and only aids in the final destruction of error.
There is no involuntary action. Mind includes all action and volition. But the human mind tries to distinguish between voluntary and involuntary action. Take away this erring mind, and the body loses all appearance of life or action, and the human mind then calls it dead.
