THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH required to gain dominion and that axiom is:
TRUTH CANNOT BE FOUND IN MATTER
Obviously matter cannot be truthful or convey an aspect of truth since it is mindless and inanimate.
Look at the issue in practice. You look at a blemish or tumor on the skin and come to the conclusion that there is a cancer. Matter here is attempting to define a truth or formulate a truth when the formulation must actually take place in consciousness.
You are sitting next to someone who suddenly becomes quite psychotic and looses their peace of mind. In both cases, one experiences the mortal mind claim that there is truth in matter when obviously there is not. The truth one experiences is not IN the matter, it is in the ascriber or mortal mind. Only mortal mind formulates the truth it experiences and that formulation is the result of the delusion that matter can convey truth.
One also has to realize that the error of believing that there is truth in matter gives rise to sensuality and its slavery. If the false belief was not there, then the sensuality would not arise because matter cannot convey anything.
Now take the next step and realize that it is impossible for matter to come up with a truth of its own volition. The tumor or screladema one experiences must be a lie of mortal mind precisely because there is no truth in matter.
Mortal mind holds that there is truth in matter and as a result of this false conclusion you have the chaos of mortal existence. Mortal mind starts its garbage every morning by conveying the idea that the the body or matter is tired. It attempts to convey a truth which is dependent on matter for its veracity.
To find healing one must first realize that truth cannot be found in matter because it is only in this realization that one is no longer mesmerized by what looks like matter behaving in an intelligent manner. Once the mesmerism is seen through the healing occurs.
Sure it would be nice to see a rod turned into a snake before ones eyes and vice-versa but we don’t have to have such experiences if we are fully conversant with Divine Science which sets out the rule for us. We just have to think it through. We can see the logic of it and avoid the mesmerism inherent in a belief with holds that matter conveys the truth.
Our dear leader gives us chapter and verse on this point it the following quotations:
We cannot fathom the nature and quality of God's creation by diving into the shallows of mortal belief. We must reverse our feeble flutterings — our efforts to find life and truth in matter — and rise above the testimony of the material senses, above the mortal to the immortal idea of God. These clearer, higher views inspire the God-like man to reach the absolute centre and circumference of his being.
(SH 262:9)
There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter.
(SH 468:9–10)
In the universe of Truth, matter is unknown.
(SH 503:10-11)
The belief that intelligence, Truth, and Love, are in matter and separate from God, is an error; for there is no intelligent evil, and no power besides God, good. God would not be omnipotent if there were in reality another mind creating or governing man or the universe.
(Mis. 36:28)
Is our consciousness in matter or in God? Have we any other consciousness than that of good? If we have, He is saying to us to-day, “Adam, where art thou?” We are wrong if our consciousness is in sin, sickness, and death. This is the old consciousness. In the new religion the teaching is, “He is not here; Truth is not in matter; he is risen; Truth has become more to us, — more true, more spiritual.”
(Mis. 179:8–15)
He is unfit for Truth, and the demonstration of divine power, who departs from Mind to matter, and from Truth to error, in pursuit of better means for healing the sick and casting out error.
(Mis. 268:9)
Whatever simulates power and Truth in matter, does this as a lie declaring itself, that mortals' faith in matter may have the effect of power; but when the whole fabrication is found to be a lie, away goes all its supposed power and prestige.
(Mis. 334:8)
Matter testifies of itself, “I am matter;” but unless matter is mind, it cannot talk or testify; and if it is mind, it is certainly not the Mind of Christ, not the Mind that is identical with Truth.
(Un. 33:10)
