Antagonistic sources

Mortal mind is the acknowledged seat of human mo- tives. It forms material concepts and produces every discordant action of the body. If action pro- ceeds from the divine Mind, action is harmo- nious. If it comes from erring mortal mind, it is discord- ant and ends in sin, sickness, death. Those two opposite sources never mingle in fount or stream. The perfect Mind sends forth perfection, for God is Mind. Imper- fect mortal mind sends forth its own resemblances, of which the wise man said, "All is vanity."
