The Universe in Its endless and perfect unfoldment — in Its creating and refining of every form of life and every kind of goodness — always agrees with Itself. The Universe never creates Its good by giving Itself obstacles to overcome, problems to solve or frustrations to suffer over. The Universal Intelligence, which is the Creator, never has to prove Itself unto Itself or earn Its own affection in order to successfully create exactly what It wants to create.

I am some part of this Universe, and I am governed by Its Law of Creation. All of my desires are desires to create. All of my creative activity is the creative activity of God creating in me, as me and through me. Therefore, my good comes to me naturally if I will let it. My good comes to me by natural constructive effort following natural affirmative thought. I don’t have to earn it by creating obstacles to overcome or dragons to slay. I don’t have to earn it by suffering, stress or sorrow.

I’m perfectly outfitted in mind and body to live successfully and operate creatively, and I look for ways to let that be so. I reject all ideas about life as problematical out of Divine necessity. God doesn’t need problems and neither do I. My life is not an obstacle course presided over by some stern drill sergeant in the sky. My life is a royal road to glorious self-expression with the wisdom and love of God impelling me from behind and lighting my way from in front. I joyfully accept it as such and let it be so. And so it is.
