Mortals and Immortals Are we mortal or immortal? Mary Baker Eddy has pointed out the disparity between these two views. They are in fact opposite. The one we hear ever repeated to our thoughts is not the one we obtain when we exercise our spiritual understanding. She wrote, "The temporal and unreal never touch the eternal and real. The mutable and imperfect never touch the immutable and perfect. The inharmonious and self-destructive never touch the harmonious and self-existent." "Belief in sickness and death, as certainly as belief in sin, tends to shut out the true sense of Life and health." "Our law refuses to recognize Man as sick or dying, but holds him to be for ever in the image and likeness of his Maker."* Our task is to "Let lying lips be put to silence;..." (Ps. 31:18) "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." (Col. 3:5) Thisis what we know to be true.
