"It is well to remember that the enlightened in every age have taught
that back of all things there is One Unseen Cause: In studying the
teachings of the great thinkers we find that a common thread runs
through all—the thread of Unity. There is no record of any deep
thinker, of any age, who taught duality. One of the great teachings of
Moses was, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is One Lord"; and the
saying, "I AM that I AM," was old when Moses was yet unborn; for it had
been inscribed over the temple entrances for generations. We may go back
much farther than Moses and find the same teaching, for it crops out
from the literatures and sayings of the wise of all ages. Jesus taught
this when He said, "I and the Father are One," and in the saying, "The
Father that dwelleth in me."

This teaching of Unity is the chief cornerstone of the Sacred Scriptures
of the East as well as of our own Sacred Writings. It is to-day the
mainspring of the teachings of the modern philosophies, such as
Christian Science, Divine Science, The Unity Teachings, The New Thought
Movement, The Occult Teachings, The Esoteric or Inner Teachings, and
even of much that is taught under the name of Psychology. Without this
basic teaching of Unity these movements would have but little to offer.
Science has found nothing to contradict this teaching, and it never
will, for the teaching is self-evident.

That there is a God or First Cause no one can doubt. That the Being Whom
we call God really exists from eternity to eternity is self-evident. In
every age people have worshipped some kind of Deity. It is true that as
the evolution of man has progressed the idea of God has expanded, and
the more that people have realized of life, and of nature and her laws,
the clearer has been the concept of Deity, for this is the logical
result of an unfolding mentality."
