Will you please clear away for me a few stumbling blocks in C. S. (1.) "Mortal body and mind are one." (bottom page 135 O. Ed. F. of Truth.) Matter or mortal body has no intelligence no sensation. Mind i. e. mortal mind is the mind of the senses, intellect. Then if mortal body and mind are one why is there not intelligence and sensation in the mortal body or matter?
(2) "Any copartnership of Mind with matter would annihilate mind." (Page 15 S. of Being, O. Ed.) Is matter the stronger? I should say Mind would annihilate matter. Jesus took upon himself error, i. e. matter, that he might be an example for us. Would that not do away with the immaculate conception, or else imply a copartnership of Mind with matter.
(3) God did not create matter. He created nothing unlike Himself—Spirit; Spiritual Idea. Would that not imply that these bones and flesh and the intricate workmanship of this body are the work of another creator? You say they are Spirit, Mind, when controlled thereby; and yet when the belief of death comes, this material that we have controlled by Spirit or otherwise, perishes to mortal eye. Jesus said "Spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have." How then are we all Mind? Should we not be invisible?
