Action of mortal mind
The valves of the heart, opening and closing for the pas- sage of the blood, obey the mandate of mor- tal mind as directly as does the hand, ad- mittedly moved by the will. Anatomy allows the mental cause of the latter action, but not of the former.
We say, "My hand hath done it." What is this my but mortal mind, the cause of all materialistic action? All voluntary, as well as miscalled involuntary, action of the mortal body is governed by this so-called mind, not by matter. There is no involuntary action. The divine Mind includes all action and volition, and man in Science is gov- erned by this Mind. The human mind tries to classify action as voluntary and involuntary, and suffers from the attempt.
