“And so we meditate daily upon the Universe of the All Good, the Infinite Indwelling Spirit, which we call God, . . . As we contact this Higher Principle of our own lives—which is Perfect and Complete, needing nothing, wanting nothing, knowing everything, being happy and satisfied—and as we daily meditate upon this Indwelling God, we shall acquire a greater mental equivalent.”
—The Science of Mind (revised) – p. 306, ¶4
