A POWERFUL STATEMENT People have been taught for ages that evil is a self-existent force; that there is a conscious power, or devil, working against the good of humanity.
This is a negative belief arising from ignorance, or a partial knowledge of the Goodness of the All Intelligence.
Positive knowledge reveals the truth that the intelligence in humanity, bird, beast, and all created things is good; in fact, very good. All created things are the intelligence of the Creator, manifesting and evolving through the successive steps of progressive life. All are growing continually from negative to positive through the grades of developing intelligence, and will finally reach the stage of development which will enable them to grasp the positive knowledge of eternal Truth, and work consciously with the one Intelligence, the Father-Mother of all created things.
All is good. Every step is good, even though it is a misstep or seeming mistake; for through their mistakes, the Creator’s children learn which paths do not lead to happiness, and thus they advance in knowledge. 96
