Letter on Reflection

Edward Kimball
God is absolutely All, at this moment and God is good, hence it is an absolutely incontrovertible, unchanging fact that there is nothing in the universe but good and its perfect effect. This good is Mind. Mind is forever conscious of its own selfhood and never was, never will be conscious of anything else. Mind is eternally One and this One all-inclusive. It is now including all that by any possibility can be needed for perfect Mind. Mind is self-governed. It is now and forever conscious of its own divine impulsion, Love. It is inspired by, energized by, prompted by and forever moving in accordance with, this one and only impulsion, Love.
For this reason, Mind, the only intelligence, is calm, trustful, tranquil and eternally confident, because it is simply experiencing the potency of its own nature, Love. Therefore, there is in the limitless realm of Mind no possibility or occasion for fear; there is nothing in good to maintain it, no room in the universe of Love for any such thing as fear, nothing in Mind to cognize it, nothing in Love to engender it. Mind, perfect self-consciousness, knowing itself to be one and forever governing itself from the basis of its own perfect nature, Love, is immortal Life; that means that since everything that Mind holds in consciousness gives evidence, expression of itself, and itself as substance, simply realizes now that it is experiencing immortality.

All thoughts in the universe at this instant are statements of this one Mind. They are kept, maintained, vitalized, governed and directed by itself, everlasting good, God. These thoughts constitute the Word of God, which according to his own promise shall accomplish that whereto it is sent. This Mind, filling all space leaves no room for any other mind, containing all that can by any possibility be needed for life, action, power, leaves nothing to compose any other mind and being conscious of acting, as infinite causation, leaves no cause or element of causation for any other. This consciousness, Mind, being conscious of completeness, of satisfaction, of infinite knowing, makes it an utter impossibility that there can be, ever was or ever will be another consciousness, this one including all and being all can never know or meet or have opposition. There is nothing to oppose, to depose or to oppose with; no method of procedure, no medium and no cause, action, power for any such thing because God is perfectly conscious of His own divine authority, simply knows the perfection of His own government; realizes His own limitless control, has proof of His own unopposed supremacy.
Mind is all the government, legislation, law and operation of law there is. This law is incontrovertible, infinite in extent and power. Man is forever enfolded within the perfect consciousness of good. He cannot get away for one instant from the protecting, loving, all-inspiring, all-sustaining, all-seeing, all-controlling, purity of Love. He has no care, no responsibility, nothing to arrange, plan, accomplish, get, long for because he simply has all possible good.
“All thoughts in the universe at this instant are statements of this one Mind.”
There is no future in the eternal now of infinite Mind, hence there is no future in which to realize Truth, or to know God, or to reach perfection and no demonstration to make because the only demonstration that is, was, or ever will be is God’s and is made and man is the knowledge of this fact. He simply knows beyond the shadow of a doubt the eternal fact of being in good. He, man, has spiritual cognition, knowledge, complete conviction of good, knows good to be one in power, one in government, one in activity, one in eternal presence, one in the conscious veritable state of being, that he eternally is the consciousness of good, the spiritual discernment of Truth, the knowledge of the one Mind.
He is a state of pure, natural unclouded mentality, consciousness, acting, moving, having his perfect being in the unchanging love of God. He can not fall from his high estate, his dominion cannot be taken from him or taken away; he cannot lose his God-given perfection and right; he cannot be misled, misguided, fooled in any way, since all he knows is divine Mind.
