Error unveiled

Error is false, mortal belief; it is illusion, without spir- itual identity or foundation, and it has no real existence. The supposition that life, substance, and in- telligence are in matter, or of it, is an error. Matter is neither a thing nor a person, but merely the objective supposition of Spirit's opposite. The five mate- rial senses testify to truth and error as united in a mind both good and evil. Their false evidence will finally yield to Truth, - to the recognition of Spirit and of the spiritual creation.

Truth cannot be contaminated by error. The state-

ment that Truth is real necessarily includes the correlated statement, that error, Truth's unlikeness, is unreal.
