 PREVIOUSLY I pointed out that we obtained our greatest happiness by making others happy, and the only way we can do this is by true prayer, thinking rightly in a scientific manner. PREVIOUSLY I pointed out that we obtained our greatest happiness by making others happy, and the only way we can do this is by true prayer, thinking rightly in a scientific manner.

 St. Augustine, the founder of modern Christianity, taught this. Five times in his writings he mentions it, four times he argues it out as follows: that God made everything very good; evil is not very good, therefore God never made it. God made all things, therefore, evil is not real. This is absolutely logical if the premises are granted, namely, that God made all things. St. Augustine, the founder of modern Christianity, taught this.

-Later on, when I come to deal with the nature of God, I will give you proof that nothing was ever made that God did not make. He never made man and He never made man’s ideas. These always existed absolutely perfect, as part of His manifestation. You are now, and always will be, a perfect being, in a perfect world, governed by a perfect God. The only things that are created are the combinations of the ideas. The lovely ideas of art, literature, music, scenery, etc., that give us such wonderful happiness, even in this material world, are really a part of heaven, combinations of God’s ideas, shining through an imaginary mist of matter, and constituting the so-called material world.+Later on, when I come to deal with the nature of God, I will give you proof that nothing was ever made that God did not make.
