God-being, which never changes. What we need is to realize our oneness with the Father at all times. In order to realize it, we deny in ourselves and others the appearances that seem contrary to this --- deny them as realities; we declare that they are not true.

There are four common error thoughts to which nearly everyone grants great power. Persons who have grown out of sickness and trouble through prayer have found it good to deny these thoughts in order to cleanse the mind of the direful effects of believing them. They can be denied like this:

First: There is no evil

There is but one power in the universe, and that is God --- Good. God is good, and God is omnipresence. Apparent evils are not entities or things of themselves. They are simply apparent absence of the good, just as darkness is an absence of light. But God, or good, is omnipresent, so the apparent absence of good (evil) is unreal. It is only an appearance of evil, just as the moving sun was an appearance. You need not wait to discuss this matter of evil or to understand fully all about why you deny it, but begin to practice the denials in an unprejudiced way and see how marvelously they will, after a while, deliver you from some of the so- called evils of your daily life.
