“The human self must be lost in love, the human will dethroned. Honesty and humility must be lifted up. Love must form every purpose. Justice must measure every action. Confidence must be placed lovingly and understandingly in the wisdom and power of Mind’s management. Fear must be banished through love. Not the selfish interest of one or a few, but the welfare of all, must be the standard rule for every transaction. The carnal mind, falsely claiming jurisdiction in the consciousness and over the affairs of men, must be rebuked and arrested in its claim to place and power.   …

There is no strife, no competition; no one desires to monopolize or control, since what belongs to one belongs to all. No one desires to be above another, but all rejoice in their equality before God, giving and receiving not for self but for God, unselfed good, that He may be manifest and His kingdom established. Love, the only animus, rules all with equity and law, and in its all-encompassing embrace rests the business of God, expressed by man.   …

Activity becomes coincident with right thinking, supply contemporary with right living, and success the only natural outcome of obedience to God’s law, for Mind cannot fall away from its idea, nor can God desert His manifestation. Truth thus understood stills panics, individual and collective, and becomes the “Peace, be still” to the tempests of human fear.”
