Everything in the universe belongs to God, to Mind; everything is in His hands; everything of which we are conscious has its being, its substance, and all its activities, in the one divine Principle.

The reward is always great if we turn unfalteringly to the one God, divine Mind, for guidance, with perfect confidence in His government. Instead of wasting time in argument over mere differences of opinion, let us unite with our brother in true brotherliness, striving to blot out the common foe, self-will and all evil suggestions, which, if accepted, would seem to separate God’s children.

If someone were audibly arguing with you, it could not seem more real than the silent argument of malicious mind endeavoring to make you accept its lies as your own mental volition. ...
