QUESTIONS & ANSWERS on the SCIENCE OF MIND
- PART I

MEANING OF DIVINE MIND
Question—Why do we say Universal Intelligence, Divine Mind, etc., and why do we use other names in place of God when all mean the same? This is confusing to a beginner.

ANSWER—When we say conscious life, spirit, conscious mind, objective mind, Christ Mind, self-conscious mind, we always mean the same thing, that thing in a person which enables him to be consciously aware of himself. When we say subjective, subc0nscious, creative consciousness, creative mind, soul, unconscious, psyche, we mean that thing in a person which automatically reacts to his conscious thought. When we use the same words in relation to the Infinite Being we mean the same thing on the scale of the Universal.

THE SPIRIT OF MAN
Question—What is the spirit of man since it cannot be seen?

ANSWER—We do not see beauty, we see that which is beautiful. We do not see love, we see that which is lovely. We feel the presence of love through loveliness as we sense an atmosphere of beauty in that which is beautiful. We do not see intelligence but we see its manifestation. "No man has seen God at any time, only the son he has revealed him," means that we do not see the First Cause, but the effect which is the result of this First Cause is a positive evidence of the reality of its Cause.
