Only The Good is Real

The name of God is the Good.

1.Life is good, and Good is God, and God is life
2.Truth is good. Good is God. God is truth
3. Love is Good. Good is God. God is love.
4. Substance is Good. Spirit is substance. Spirit is Good. Good is God. God is the only substance.
5. Intelligence is Good. Intelligence as good is Mind. Mind is Good. Good is God. God is Mind. Cause is Mind. Cause is Good.

There are five false race beliefs which we deny:
1. There is no evil. There is only one power in the universe, the Good, which is God.
2. There is no matter. There is only one force, one power, one Good, one God, and one substance.
3. There is no life, substance and intelligence in matter. Life, substance and intelligence are God, the Good.
4. There is no sensation in matter
5. There is no reality in sin, sickness or death
Science rejects errors and states what is true.

There is no reality in evil. There is no matter. There is no sin, sickness and death. From the deathless parent we came, and from deathless substance we were made.

God is life, truth, love, substance, intelligence, omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience. These are the affirmations of universal and omnipresent Good.

Science is systematized knowledge. Christ is truth. Life is God and God cannot be slain. God beholdeth not iniquity.
Thoughts control conditions. If we do not harbor certain kinds of thoughts, we are never sick. God makes nothing unlike himself. Think only health and strength. All failure to heal is a sign of fear and fear is a sign of doubt in the power of truth. Mt. Zion cannot be moved.

Stand steadfast against surges of fear. Let there be a firmament, a definite state of mind. The evidence of the senses seem against us. Are we going to choose the truth that is or the error that seems.

The Good is the true; the evil is false and has no place in a universe created by the good, occupied by the good, and tolerating only the Good. Though I see not, yet will I believe.

All of nature awaits your lonely choice of the good. Wait and he will give you the desires of your heart. Believe in your health as a good already received, waiting to be manifested according to your belief. Against all sense evidence. Tho he slay me, yet will I trust him.

Good is the only reality. WE are tried in the furnace of doubt and opposition. I trust only the Good, the IT. We have leaned upon matter for health and upon physical things for satisfaction, and have not acknowledged the Good. Speak the truth silently, as though love is already yours. It is not strong drink that is wanted, but strong thought. Error or evil is nothing. The law of flesh profiteth nothing. Clinging to the human is to cling to the mortal. The idolized get sick. WE are free from the material.

Only the Good is real. The only evil is our belief in it. None of the statements of mortal mind are true. Matter and sin have no power we do not give them. Sickness and death are nothing. Pride has no power; deceit has no power; disease has no power. Make no murmer, no complaint, no mention of sickness, weariness or pain.

Deny all that is undesireable. Denial destroys poverty. The blessing I want is already mine. All poverty is seeming. Deny the evidence of the senses about everything. Judge not according to appearance. No one has wronged me. Only the good is true.

No one can injure or wrong me in any way. God is my comforter and shield. As I think so it is. I am responsible for my environment, and for my brother. I heal the sick and cast out demons. I decree. I have the power to do the work. I bring balm to wounded minds, health to sickness, gladness to sorrow, freedom to bondage, rest to weariness, strength to weakness, riches to poverty.

All that man calls the world is but the picture of his thought. Evil is delusion. I build no wall of evil. What I decree is so. Where mortal mind says death is, Immortal mind says life is. Where mortal mind says sickness, imperfection and material formations are, Immortal Mind says wholeness, perfection and spiritual things are.

I reject error. Do not rely upon material aids for health. Cast all of your care upon the Good. All is Gold, Good, already. Whining is not being in love with the Good, but ignorance. Rejoice, your lover is with you. You can prove the goodness of others. The real self is never sick. The real hand is invisible. Only health is real. Your self is indestructible, unchangeable, never yields to imperfection. Let you light shine. Tell the truth. Only the good is true. Reject all claims of mortal mind. Sorrow and cheating and deceiving darken you.

In Genesis, chapter one is the true creation; chapter two is the creation of the shadow, the untrue and unreal, the mortal. Adam is the error-man. Misery is a lie; the good is all. The murderer is an ugly dream. Call to the real self of him. He will turn. The nightmare is broken. The deed is not done. The hung man opens his eyes and he was not hung. He never committed the crime. Evil deeds are but ugly dreams. Error or shadow is not real but we deal with it as though it is.
