God is absolute good everywhere present

Principle One gives me the opportunity to know God and to strengthen my understanding of All That Is:  God is Absolute Good, everywhere present. This energy we call God does not and can not have boundaries.  God simply is…the Source of all energy.  Like the atmosphere around us, this Source is available for our spiritual nourishment.  God is Principle, meaning God is definitive, absolute, and unchanging.     

Absolute good, everywhere present affirms that God is all there is: omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.  Not all-knowing but all knowledge, not all powerful but all power, and present everywhere. All that we have and all that we are is God and we can never be separate from God.  We do not live in the Absolute as it is a different plane, a realm of the divine where everything exists as a perfect idea.  The human form of those ideas is rarely perfect.

If God is absolute Good, then what is referred to as evil cannot be real or enduring.  It can be painful, but it stems from our misuse of spiritual law, not from an evil entity that wants to harm us.  War, terrorism, crime, starvation, ignorance are human pioneering, based on fear, arrogance and greed. The belief in a supernatural source of evil is unnecessary.  We humans are quite capable of every bad act when we misuse our powers.  Principle one maintains we are one with God – not separate, but immersed in the divine.
