Eddy, Mary Baker, 1821-1910

"Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures"

The spiritually unscientific definition
of mind is based on the evidence of the physical senses,
which makes minds many and calls _mind_ both human and
114:9 divine.
In Science, Mind is _one_, including noumenon and phe-
nomena, God and His thoughts.
Imperfect terminology
114:12 Mortal mind is a solecism in language, and involves an
improper use of the word _mind_. As Mind is immortal,
the phrase _mortal mind_ implies something un-
114:15 true and therefore unreal; and as the phrase
is used in teaching Christian Science, it is meant to
designate that which has no real existence. Indeed, if
114:18 a better word or phrase could be suggested, it would
be used; but in expressing the new tongue we must
sometimes recur to the old and imperfect, and the new
114:21 wine of the Spirit has to be poured into the old bottles of
the letter.
Causation mental
Christian Science explains all cause and effect as men-
114:24 tal, not physical.
