Real being never lost

If Spirit, Soul, could sin or be lost, then being and im- mortality would be lost, together with all the faculties of Mind; but being cannot be lost while God ex- ists. Soul and matter are at variance from the very necessity of their opposite natures. Mortals are unacquainted with the reality of existence, because matter and mortality do not reflect the facts of Spirit.

Spiritual vision is not subordinate to geometric alti- tudes. Whatever is governed by God, is never for an instant deprived of the light and might of intelligence and Life.
