Good Is the Basic Reality

OLGA COSSI

Truth is simple. God is. God is good. God is All. If truth is so simple, why does life appear so complicated? Why is so much evil evident everywhere?

The problem of the existence of evil in the face of the allness of God has challenged many sincere thinkers in all ages. Mrs. Eddy devoted herself to solving this problem after experiencing an instantaneous healing of a physical ill. As a result she discovered Christian Science, which exposes the basic unreality of evil. She did not deny that evil seems to exist. She denied the reality of this seeming existence, and she did so on a scientific, provable basis.

According to Christian Science, evil is a phenomenon of the human mind, which is overcome by the divine Mind, God. Another way of putting this fact is that evil is mortal ignorance, which is eliminated by spiritual understanding.
