THE FACT OF IMMORTALITY

George Channing

Immortal man depends wholly upon God and knows it. He has infinite power, strength, existence, totally derived from his divine source, and he rejoices in his understanding of that fact. He is not the originator of anything; yet he has, by reflection, all that God, the divine origin of all, creates.

Immortal man is aware of eternal presence because he is the conception, or idea, by which the eternal conceiver, or Mind, expresses Himself. He is unafraid, because he knows that nothing can be taken away from his creator and therefore nothing from him, the created, who makes the creator manifest. He cannot lose anything, because God, whose expression he is, never fails to express Himself perfectly.

Any belief that man depends less on God than the foregoing statements set forth and imply is idolatry, sin; and idolatry is the suppositional mental state to which alone the mesmeric dream of mortality appears. Such mental state cannot be entertained by man. It is illusion and therefore nothing.
