Unity of Good by Mary Baker Eddy
page 26 of 56 (46%)

Spirit never sins, because Spirit is God. Hence, as Spirit, Soul is
sinless, and is God. Therefore there is, there can be, no spiritual death.

Transcending the evidence of the material senses, Science declares God to
be the Soul of all being, the only Mind and intelligence in the universe.
There is but one God, one Soul, or Mind, and that one is infinite,
supplying all that is absolutely immutable and eternal,--Truth, Life, Love.

Science reveals Soul as that which the senses cannot define from any
standpoint of their own. What the physical senses miscall soul, Christian
Science defines as material sense; and herein lies the discrepancy between
the true Science of Soul and that material sense of a soul which that very
sense declares can never be seen or measured or weighed or touched by
physicality.

Often we can elucidate the deep meaning of the Scriptures by reading
_sense_ instead of _soul_, as in the Forty-second Psalm: "Why art thou cast
down, O my soul [sense]?... Hope thou in God [Soul]: for I shall yet praise
Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God [my Soul,
immortality]."

The Virgin-mother's sense being uplifted to behold Spirit as the sole
origin of man, she exclaimed, "My soul [spiritual sense] doth magnify the
Lord."

Human language constantly uses the word _soul_ for _sense_. This it does
under the delusion that the senses can reverse the spiritual facts of
Science, whereas Science reverses the testimony of the material senses.
