In calling Abraham the Lord said unto him, "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from, thy father's house, into a land that I will show thee."
What were Abraham's country, his kindred, and his father's house? His country was mortal mind; his kindred, the thoughts that are akin to mortal mind, the aggregate of which compose mortal mind, such as envy, jealousy, malice, hate, selfishness, and the desire for worldly things.
His father's house was the false belief in material existence, belief that his origin was material instead of spiritual. These were the things God called Abraham to forsake; and God calls us to do likewise, and come into the land He will show us.
