Unity of Good.

have not accepted the simple teaching and life of Jesus, as the only true solution of the perplexing problem of human existence.

Sometimes it is said, by those who fail to understand me, that I monopolize; and this is said because ideas akin to mine have been held by a few spiritual thinkers in all ages. So they have, but in a far different form. Healing has gone on continually; yet healing, as I teach it, has not been practised since the days of Christ.

What is the cardinal point of the difference in my metaphysical system? This: that by denying the reality of disease, sin, and death, I demonstrate the Allness of God. This difference wholly separates my system from all others. The reality of these so-called existences I deny, because I do not find them in God, and this system is built on Him as the Supreme Being, or Sole Cause. I challenge my critics to name any previous teachers, save Jesus and his Apostles, who have thus taught.

If there be any monopoly in my teaching, it lies in this utter reliance upon the One God, to whom belong all things.

Life is God, or Spirit, the supersensible Eternal.
