THE LIGHT OF IMMORTALITY

CAROLINE HARDEE GODFREY

To awake to immortality or the understanding of life eternal means to be aroused from the dream of mortality. Paul declared (Rom. 8:2), "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." The material law of the flesh seems to war against "the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus."

The carnal mind, the mind of the flesh, is opposed to all that is spiritual. Christian Science teaches that in order to put off this opposing mind and realize immortality, one must understand that carnal thinking is but a phase of the dream of material life.

Cain and Abel were the products of the dream that good and evil coexist. Abel, representing a higher sense of worship, found that purity and innocence as expressed by the lamb must be qualities of Spirit. The evil in the consciousness of Cain made him fail to recognize the redeeming quality of Abel; so he slew him.
