Chapter Xvii - Glossary

These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it. - REVELATION.

579:1 In Christian Science we learn that the substitution of the spiritual for the material definition of a Scrip- 579:3 tural word often elucidates the meaning of the inspired writer. On this account this chapter is added. It con- tains the metaphysical interpretation of Bible terms, 579:6 giving their spiritual sense, which is also their original meaning.

ABEL. Watchfulness; self-offering; surrendering to 579:9 the creator the early fruits of experience.

ABRAHAM. Fidelity; faith in the divine Life and in the eternal Principle of being. 579:12 This patriarch illustrated the purpose of Love to create trust in good, and showed the life-preserving power of spiritual understanding.

579:15 ADAM. Error; a falsity; the belief in "original sin," sickness, and death; evil; the opposite of good, - of God and His creation; a curse; a belief in intelligent matter, 580:1 finiteness, and mortality; "dust to dust;" red sand- stone; nothingness; the first god of mythology; not 580:3 God's man, who represents the one God and is His own image and likeness; the opposite of Spirit and His crea- tions; that which is not the image and likeness of good, 580:6 but a material belief, opposed to the one Mind, or Spirit; a so-called finite mind, producing other minds, thus mak- ing "gods many and lords many" (I Corinthians viii. 5); 580:9 a product of nothing as the mimicry of something; an unreality as opposed to the great reality of spiritual ex- istence and creation; a so-called man, whose origin, 580:12 substance, and mind are found to be the antipode of God, or Spirit; an inverted image of Spirit; the image and likeness of what God has not created, namely, mat- 580:15 ter, sin, sickness, and death; the opposer of Truth, termed error; Life's counterfeit, which ultimates in death; the opposite of Love, called hate; the usurper 580:18 of Spirit's creation, called self-creative matter; immor- tality's opposite, mortality; that of which wisdom saith, "Thou shalt surely die."

580:21 The name Adam represents the false supposition that Life is not eternal, but has beginning and end; that the infinite enters the finite, that intelligence passes into non- 580:24 intelligence, and that Soul dwells in material sense; that immortal Mind results in matter, and matter in mortal mind; that the one God and creator entered what He cre- 580:27 ated, and then disappeared in the atheism of matter.

ADVERSARY. An adversary is one who opposes, denies, disputes, not one who constructs and sustains reality and 580:30 Truth. Jesus said of the devil, "He was a murderer from the beginning, . . . he is a liar and the father of it." 581:1 This view of Satan is confirmed by the name often con- ferred upon him in Scripture, the "adversary."

581:3 ALMIGHTY. All-power; infinity; omnipotence.

ANGELS. God's thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions, pure and perfect; the inspiration of goodness, 581:6 purity, and immortality, counteracting all evil, sensuality, and mortality.

ARK. Safety; the idea, or reflection, of Truth, proved 581:9 to be as immortal as its Principle; the understanding of Spirit, destroying belief in matter.

God and man coexistent and eternal; Science show- 581:12 ing that the spiritual realities of all things are created by Him and exist forever. The ark indicates temptation overcome and followed by exaltation.

581:15 ASHER (Jacob's son). Hope and faith; spiritual com- pensation; the ills of the flesh rebuked.

BABEL. Self-destroying error; a kingdom divided 581:18 against itself, which cannot stand; material knowledge.

The higher false knowledge builds on the basis of evi- dence obtained from the five corporeal senses, the more 581:21 confusion ensues, and the more certain is the downfall of its structure.

BAPTISM. Purification by Spirit; submergence in 581:24 Spirit.

We are "willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (II Corinthians v. 8.)

582:1 BELIEVING. Firmness and constancy; not a faltering nor a blind faith, but the perception of spiritual Truth. 582:3 Mortal thoughts, illusion.

BENJAMIN (Jacob's son). A physical belief as to life, substance, and mind; human knowledge, or so-called 582:6 mortal mind, devoted to matter; pride; envy; fame; illusion; a false belief; error masquerading as the pos- sessor of life, strength, animation, and power to act.

582:9 Renewal of affections; self-offering; an improved state of mortal mind; the introduction of a more spiritual origin; a gleam of the infinite idea of the infinite Prin- 582:12 ciple; a spiritual type; that which comforts, consoles, and supports.

BRIDE. Purity and innocence, conceiving man in the 582:15 idea of God; a sense of Soul, which has spiritual bliss and enjoys but cannot suffer.

BRIDEGROOM. Spiritual understanding; the pure con- 582:18 sciousness that God, the divine Principle, creates man as His own spiritual idea, and that God is the only crea- tive power.

582:21 BURIAL. Corporeality and physical sense put out of sight and hearing; annihilation. Submergence in Spirit; immortality brought to light. 582:24 CANAAN (the son of Ham). A sensuous belief; the testimony of what is termed material sense; the error which would make man mortal and would make mortal 582:27 mind a slave to the body.

CHILDREN. The spiritual thoughts and representa- tives of Life, Truth, and Love.

583:1 Sensual and mortal beliefs; counterfeits of creation, whose better originals are God's thoughts, not in em- 583:3 bryo, but in maturity; material suppositions of life, sub- stance, and intelligence, opposed to the Science of being.

CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. The representatives of Soul, not 583:6 corporeal sense; the offspring of Spirit, who, having wrestled with error, sin, and sense, are governed by divine Science; some of the ideas of God beheld as men, casting 583:9 out error and healing the sick; Christ's offspring.

CHRIST. The divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error. 583:12 CHURCH. The structure of Truth and Love; what- ever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle.

The Church is that institution, which affords proof of 583:15 its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the ap- prehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of 583:18 divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.

CREATOR. Spirit; Mind; intelligence; the animating 583:21 divine Principle of all that is real and good; self-existent Life, Truth, and Love; that which is perfect and eternal; the opposite of matter and evil, which have no Prin- 583:24 ciple; God, who made all that was made and could not create an atom or an element the opposite of Himself.

DAN (Jacob's son). Animal magnetism; so-called mor- 583:27 tal mind controlling mortal mind; error, working out the designs of error; one belief preying upon another.

584:1 DAY. The irradiance of Life; light, the spiritual idea of Truth and Love.

584:3 "And the evening and the morning were the first day." (Genesis i. 5.) The objects of time and sense disappear in the illumination of spiritual understanding, and Mind 584:6 measures time according to the good that is unfolded. This unfolding is God's day, and "there shall be no night there."

584:9 DEATH. An illusion, the lie of life in matter; the un- real and untrue; the opposite of Life.

Matter has no life, hence it has no real existence. Mind 584:12 is immortal. The flesh, warring against Spirit; that which frets itself free from one belief only to be fettered by another, until every belief of life where Life is not 584:15 yields to eternal Life. Any material evidence of death is false, for it contradicts the spiritual facts of being.

DEVIL. Evil; a lie; error; neither corporeality nor 584:18 mind; the opposite of Truth; a belief in sin, sickness, and death; animal magnetism or hypnotism; the lust of the flesh, which saith: " I am life and intelligence in 584:21 matter. There is more than one mind, for I am mind, - a wicked mind, self-made or created by a tribal god and put into the opposite of mind, termed matter, thence to 584:24 reproduce a mortal universe, including man, not after the image and likeness of Spirit, but after its own image."

DOVE. A symbol of divine Science; purity and peace; 584:27 hope and faith.

DUST. Nothingness; the absence of substance, life, or intelligence.

585:1 EARS. Not organs of the so-called corporeal senses, but spiritual understanding.

585:3 Jesus said, referring to spiritual perception, "Having ears, hear ye not?" (Mark viii. 18.)

EARTH. A sphere; a type of eternity and immortality, 585:6 which are likewise without beginning or end.

To material sense, earth is matter; to spiritual sense, it is a compound idea.

585:9 ELIAS. Prophecy; spiritual evidence opposed to mate- rial sense; Christian Science, with which can be discerned the spiritual fact of whatever the material senses behold; 585:12 the basis of immortality.

"Elias truly shall first come and restore all things." (Matthew xvii. 11.) 585:15 ERROR. See chapter on Recapitulation, page 472.

EUPHRATES (river). Divine Science encompassing the universe and man; the true idea of God; a type 585:18 of the glory which is to come; metaphysics taking the place of physics; the reign of righteousness. The atmos- phere of human belief before it accepts sin, sickness, or 585:21 death; a state of mortal thought, the only error of which is limitation; finity; the opposite of infinity.

EVE. A beginning; mortality; that which does not 585:24 last forever; a finite belief concerning life, substance, and intelligence in matter; error; the belief that the hu- man race originated materially instead of spiritually, - 585:27 that man started first from dust, second from a rib, and third from an egg.

586:1 EVENING. Mistiness of mortal thought; weariness of mortal mind; obscured views; peace and rest.

586:3 EYES. Spiritual discernment, - not material but mental. Jesus said, thinking of the outward vision, "Having 586:6 eyes, see ye not?" (Mark viii. 18.)

FAN. Separator of fable from fact; that which gives action to thought.

586:9 FATHER. Eternal Life; the one Mind; the divine Principle, commonly called God.

FEAR. Heat; inflammation; anxiety; ignorance; error; 586:12 desire; caution.

586:21 GAD (Jacob's son). Science; spiritual being under- stood; haste towards harmony.

GETHSEMANE. Patient woe; the human yielding to 586:24 the divine; love meeting no response, but still remaining love.

587:1 GHOST. An illusion; a belief that mind is outlined and limited; a supposition that spirit is finite.

587:3 GIHON (river). The rights of woman acknowledged morally, civilly, and socially.

GOD. The great I AM; the all-knowing, all-seeing, 587:6 all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence.

587:9 GODS. Mythology; a belief that life, substance, and intelligence are both mental and material; a supposition of sentient physicality; the belief that infinite Mind is in 587:12 finite forms; the various theories that hold mind to be a material sense, existing in brain, nerve, matter; supposi- titious minds, or souls, going in and out of matter, erring 587:15 and mortal; the serpents of error, which say, "Ye shall be as gods."

God is one God, infinite and perfect, and cannot be- 587:18 come finite and imperfect.

GOOD. God; Spirit; omnipotence; omniscience; om- nipresence; omni-action.

587:21 HAM (Noah's son). Corporeal belief; sensuality; slavery; tyranny.

HIDDEKEL (river). Divine Science understood and 588:6 acknowledged.

HOLY GHOST. Divine Science; the development of eternal Life, Truth, and Love.

588:9 I, or EGO. Divine Principle; Spirit; Soul; incor- poreal, unerring, immortal, and eternal Mind.

There is but one I, or Us, but one divine Principle, or 588:12 Mind, governing all existence; man and woman un- changed forever in their individual characters, even as numbers which never blend with each other, though they 588:15 are governed by one Principle. All the objects of God's creation reflect one Mind, and whatever reflects not this one Mind, is false and erroneous, even the belief that 588:18 life, substance, and intelligence are both mental and material.

I AM. God; incorporeal and eternal Mind; divine 588:21 Principle; the only Ego.

IN. A term obsolete in Science if used with reference to Spirit, or Deity.

LEVI (Jacob's son). A corporeal and sensual belief; 590:12 mortal man; denial of the fulness of God's creation; ecclesiastical despotism.

LIFE. See chapter on Recapitulation, page 468.

590:15 LORD. In the Hebrew, this term is sometimes em- ployed as a title, which has the inferior sense of master, or ruler. In the Greek, the word /kurios/ almost always 590:18 has this lower sense, unless specially coupled with the name God. Its higher signification is Supreme Ruler.

LORD GOD. Jehovah.

590:21 This double term is not used in the first chapter of Genesis, the record of spiritual creation. It is intro- duced in the second and following chapters, when the 590:24 spiritual sense of God and of infinity is disappearing from the recorder's thought, - when the true scientific statements of the Scriptures become clouded through a 591:1 physical sense of God as finite and corporeal. From this follow idolatry and mythology, - belief in many gods, or 591:3 material intelligences, as the opposite of the one Spirit, or intelligence, named Elohim, or God.

MAN. The compound idea of infinite Spirit; the spirit- 591:6 ual image and likeness of God; the full representation of Mind.

MATTER. Mythology; mortality; another name for 591:9 mortal mind; illusion; intelligence, substance, and life in non-intelligence and mortality; life resulting in death, and death in life; sensation in the sensationless; mind 591:12 originating in matter; the opposite of Truth; the oppo- site of Spirit; the opposite of God; that of which immortal Mind takes no cognizance; that which mortal mind sees, 591:15 feels, hears, tastes, and smells only in belief.

MIND. The only I, or Us; the only Spirit, Soul, divine Principle, substance, Life, Truth, Love; the one God; 591:18 not that which is/ in/ man, but the divine Principle, or God, of whom man is the full and perfect expression; Deity, which outlines but is not outlined.

591:21 MIRACLE. That which is divinely natural, but must be learned humanly; a phenomenon of Science.

MORNING. Light; symbol of Truth; revelation and 591:24 progress.

MORTAL MIND. Nothing claiming to be something, for Mind is immortal; mythology; error creating other 591:27 errors; a suppositional material sense, /alias/ the belief 592:1 that sensation is in matter, which is sensationless; a be- lief that life, substance, and intelligence are in and of 592:3 matter; the opposite of Spirit, and therefore the opposite of God, or good; the belief that life has a beginning and therefore an end; the belief that man is the off- 592:6 spring of mortals; the belief that there can be more than one creator; idolatry; the subjective states of error; material senses; that which neither exists in Science nor 592:9 can be recognized by the spiritual sense; sin; sickness; death.

593:6 PURSE. Laying up treasures in matter; error.

RED DRAGON. Error; fear; inflammation; sensuality; subtlety; animal magnetism; envy; revenge.

593:9 RESURRECTION. Spiritualization of thought; a new and higher idea of immortality, or spiritual existence; material belief yielding to spiritual understanding.

593:12 REUBEN (Jacob's son). Corporeality; sensuality; de- lusion; mortality; error.

RIVER. Channel of thought.

593:15 When smooth and unobstructed, it typifies the course of Truth; but muddy, foaming, and dashing, it is a type of error.

593:18 ROCK. Spiritual foundation; Truth. Coldness and stubbornness.

SALVATION. Life, Truth, and Love understood and 593:21 demonstrated as supreme over all; sin, sickness, and death destroyed.

The first 594:9 audible claim that God was not omnipotent and that there was another power, named /evil/, which was as real and eternal as God, good.

SPIRITS. Mortal beliefs; corporeality; evil minds; supposed intelligences, or gods; the opposites of God; 594:24 errors; hallucinations. (See page 466.)

SUBSTANCE. See chapter on Recapitulation, page 468.

595:1 SUN. The symbol of Soul governing man, - of Truth, Life, and Love.

595:3 SWORD. The idea of Truth; justice. Revenge; anger.

TARES. Mortality; error; sin; sickness; disease; 595:6 death.

TEMPLE. Body; the idea of Life, substance, and in- telligence; the superstructure of Truth; the shrine of 595:9 Love; a material superstructure, where mortals congre- gate for worship.

THUMMIM. Perfection; the eternal demand of divine 595:12 Science.

The Urim and Thummim, which were to be on Aaron's breast when he went before Jehovah, were holiness and 595:15 purification of thought and deed, which alone can fit us for the office of spiritual teaching.

TIME. Mortal measurements; limits, in which are 595:18 summed tip all human acts, thoughts, beliefs, opinions, knowledge; matter; error; that which begins before, and continues after, what is termed death, until the mortal 595:21 disappears and spiritual perfection appears.

TITHE. Contribution; tenth part; homage; gratitude. A sacrifice to the gods.

595:24 UNCLEANLINESS. Impure thoughts; error; sin; dirt.

UNGODLINESS. Opposition to the divine Principle and its spiritual idea.

596:1 UNKNOWN. That which spiritual sense alone compre- hends, and which is unknown to the material senses.

596:3 Paganism and agnosticism may define Deity as "the great unknowable;" but Christian Science brings God much nearer to man, and makes Him better known as 596:6 the All-in-all, forever near.

Paul saw in Athens an altar dedicated "to the unknown God." Referring to it, he said to the Athenians: "Whom 596:9 therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you." (Acts xvii. 23.)

URIM. Light.

596:12 The rabbins believed that the stones in the breast- plate of the high-priest had supernatural illumination, but Christian Science reveals Spirit, not matter, as the 596:15 illuminator of all. The illuminations of Science give us a sense of the nothingness of error, and they show the spiritual inspiration of Love and Truth to be the only fit 596:18 preparation for admission to the presence and power of the Most High.

VALLEY. Depression; meekness; darkness.

596:21 "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." (Psalm xxiii.4.)

Though the way is dark in mortal sense, divine Life 596:24 and Love illumine it, destroy the unrest of mortal thought, the fear of death, and the supposed reality of error. Chris- tian Science, contradicting sense, maketh the valley to bud 596:27 and blossom as the rose.

VEIL. A cover; concealment; hiding; hypocrisy.

The Jewish women wore veils over their faces in token 597:1 of reverence and submission and in accordance with Pharisaical notions.

597:3 The Judaic religion consisted mostly of rites and cere- monies. The motives and affections of a man were of little value, if only he appeared unto men to fast. The 597:6 great Nazarene, as meek as he was mighty, rebuked the hypocrisy, which offered long petitions for blessings upon material methods, but cloaked the crime, latent in thought, 597:9 which was ready to spring into action and crucify God's anointed. The martyrdom of Jesus was the culminating sin of Pharisaism. It rent the veil of the temple. It re- 597:12 vealed the false foundations and superstructures of super- ficial religion, tore from bigotry and superstition their coverings, and opened the sepulchre with divine Science, 597:15 - immortality and Love.

WILDERNESS. Loneliness; doubt; darkness. Spon- taneity of thought and idea; the vestibule in which a 597:18 material sense of things disappears, and spiritual sense unfolds the great facts of existence.

WILL. The motive-power of error; mortal belief; ani- 597:21 mal power. The might and wisdom of God.

"For this is the will of God." (I Thessalonians iv. 3.)

597:24 Will, as a quality of so-called mortal mind, is a wrong- doer; hence it should not be confounded with the term as applied to Mind or to one of God's qualities.

597:27 WIND. That which indicates the might of omnipo- tence and the movements of God's spiritual government, encompassing all things. Destruction; anger; mortal 597:30 passions.

598:1 The Greek word for /wind/ (/pneuma/) is used also for /spirit/, as in the passage in John's Gospel, the third chap- 598:3 ter, where we read: "The wind [/pneuma/] bloweth where it listeth. . . . So is every one that is born of the Spirit [/pneuma/]." Here the original word is the same in both 598:6 cases, yet it has received different translations, as in other passages in this same chapter and elsewhere in the New Testament. This shows how our Master had constantly 598:9 to employ words of material significance in order to unfold spiritual thoughts. In the record of Jesus' supposed death, we read: "He bowed his head, and gave up the 598:12 ghost;" but this word /ghost/ is /pneuma/. It might be trans- lated /wind/ or /air/, and the phrase is equivalent to our common statement, "He breathed his last." What 598:15 Jesus gave up was indeed air, an etherealized form of matter, for never did he give up Spirit, or Soul.

WINE. Inspiration; understanding. Error; fornica- 598:18 tion; temptation; passion.

YEAR. A solar measurement of time; mortality; space for repentance.

598:21 "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years." (II Peter iii. 8.)

One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual 598:24 understanding of Life and Love, is a foretaste of eternity. This exalted view, obtained and retained when the Sci- ence of being is understood, would bridge over with life 598:27 discerned spiritually the interval of death, and man would be in the full consciousness of his immortality and eternal harmony, where sin, sickness, and death are un- 598:30 known. Time is a mortal thought, the divisor of which 599:1 is the solar year. Eternity is God's measurement of Soul- filled years.

599:3 YOU. As applied to corporeality, a mortal; finity.

ZEAL. The reflected animation of Life, Truth, and Love. Blind enthusiasm; mortal will.

599:6 ZION. Spiritual foundation and superstructure; in- spiration; spiritual strength. Emptiness; unfaithful- ness; desolation.
