declares can never be seen or measured or weighed or touched by physicality.
Often we can elucidate the deep meaning of the Scriptures by reading sense instead of soul, as in the Forty-second Psalm: “Why art thou cast down oh my soul [sense]? . . . Hope thou in God [Soul], for I shall yet praise Him who is the health of my countenance and my God [my Soul, Immortality].”
The Virgin Mother's sense being uplifted to behold Spirit, as the sole origin of man, she exclaimed, “My soul [sense] doth magnify the Lord.”
Human language constantly uses the word soul for sense. This it does, under the delusion that the senses can reverse the spiritual facts of Science; whereas Science reverses the testimony of the senses.
Soul is Life, and being Spiritual Life, never sins. Material sense is the so-called material life. Hence this lower sense sins and suffers, according to material belief, till divine understanding takes away this belief, and restores Soul, or Spiritual Life. “He restoreth my Soul,” says David.
In his First Epistle to the Corinthians (xv. 45) Paul writes: “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last man Adam, a quickening Spirit.”
