Genesis
503

tion consists of the unfolding of spiritual ideas and their identities, which are embraced in the infinite Mind and forever reflected. These ideas range from the infinitesimal to infinity, and the highest ideas are the sons and daughters of God.


Genesis i. 2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.


The divine Principle and idea constitute spiritual harmony, — heaven and eternity. In the universe of Truth, Spiritual harmony matter is unknown. No supposition of error enters there. Divine Science, the Word of God, saith to the darkness upon the face of error, “God is All-in-all,” and the light of ever-present Love illumines the universe. Hence the eternal wonder, — that infinite space is peopled with God's ideas, reflecting Him in countless spiritual forms.


Genesis i. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.


Immortal and divine Mind presents the idea of God: first, in light; second, in reflection; third, in spiritual and Mind's idea faultless immortal forms of beauty and goodness. But this Mind creates no element nor symbol of discord and decay. God creates neither erring thought, mortal life, mutable truth, nor variable love.


Genesis i. 4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.


God, Spirit, dwelling in infinite light and harmony
