THE perfect idea is, of course, the spiritual idea, since everything material has within itself the elements of self-destruction proving sooner or later its imperfection. That which is imperfect can never become perfect. Perfection appears only as the imperfect idea is destroyed. Hence a mortal can never become immortal: but as each characteristic of mortality is destroyed, the perfect or immortal idea becomes apparent.
The beautiful, perfect, and true idea created by Spirit, and forever sustained by Spirit is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever." Mind eternally clothes it. with garments of loveliness which transcend the deflorations of material sense. This idea never degenerates into age or decrepitude, nor is it developed through the evolutions of infancy, youth, and manhood. Being the idea of perfection, it was never anything less than perfect.
