"The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and that the supposititious opposite of infinite Mind - called devil or evil - is not Mind, is not Truth, but error, without intelligence or reality."Although this spiritual truth may seem nice, but unrelatable to our human situation, in my experience I found that it is a basis for prayer that yields practical results. To give one example, I was once on a committee to select a contractor to do some work for several government agencies. The members of the committee had diverse opinions of who and what was needed. Just prior to our final meeting to select a contractor, I took some time to pray for our work. Considering Eddy's statement, I affirmed that all members of the committee were governed by this one divine Mind. This gave me a sense of peace about our meeting. As we gathered to make our decision, there seemed to be tension and committee members were joking about needing baseball bats. However, one person suggested that before we have any discussion, we take a secret vote and list our top choice. To everyone's surprise, we voted unanimously for the same contractor. The meeting was over in record time!
Let's join in our prayers and affirm this great truth that God, good is the only Mind. It can have a healing effect!
