Soul-sense: Indestructible and Unrestricted

Peter J. Henniker-Heaton

"The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them." Prov. 20:12; God never made faculties vulnerable to accident, disease, or passing years, restricted in range or incapable of clear definition.

The ears and eyes of God's making—to carry on briefly the Psalmist's usage—are not material. They are not organs, physiological or otherwise, conveying impressions to a brain in response to external stimuli. Instead, they indicate modes of divine Mind's perfect cognition of its own infinite self-containment, its spiritual universe; and they are individualized in Mind's spiritual idea, man.

These statements are not philosophical abstractions. They are practical and scientific. The sight and hearing made by God are more actual than any physical sense or faculty. When Christ Jesus from this spiritual basis healed the blind and deaf, the blind saw, the deaf heard. Today when Christian Science restores sight or hearing from this same spiritual basis, the blind see, the deaf hear.
