Man's True Identity

Now the nothingness of matter or physicality does not imply that man is nothing. It implies that man is nothing physical. The Bible tells us that God made man in His own image. Since God is infinite Spirit, All, this means that man, the image of infinite Spirit, is all-spiritual, not physical at all. The Apostle Paul surely implies this when he writes, "If a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself." Now God made man, and whatever God makes cannot be classified as nothing. So Paul's words plainly indicate that, "If a man think himself to be something" physical, "when he is nothing" physical, "he deceiveth himself." Actually, then, physicality is a false state of thought, not a true state of man. One's thought that he is physical or mortal is all there is to his being physical or mortal. A physical body only exists in one's thought. Thought does not exist in a physical body.

God is the only Life. Then man, Life's image, is not a separate, mortal life, but an inseparable, spiritual likeness of the one and only Life. God is the only Mind. Then man, Mind's image is not a separate mortal mind, but an inseparable, spiritual idea of the one and only Mind.
