Since Spirit is omnipresent and absolutely fills all and is infinite, there can be no power of evil anywhere. The consciousness of the supremacy and changelessness of God, the Good, excludes the belief in any opposing presence or power, for opposites cannot be in the same place at the same time. Light and darkness, heat and cold, sound and silence cannot fill the same place at the same time; no more can good and evil exist together. Heretofore we may have thought that evil had its place, for we have spoken of good and evil as counterparts and have given place in our thinking to both of them. Now science leads us into a more perfect understanding based not upon past or future but upon the Eternal. This understanding compels new thinking and new speaking.

If Good is omnipresent, what becomes of evil? What happens to the darkness which fills a room when the light is turned on? The darkness does not move out and go somewhere else, it simply does not exist in the presence of light. Darkness is not a reality, it is merely the absence of light. In the same way when the individual thought is centered upon the omnipresence of good, evil thought does not move out and continue to exist elsewhere; it simply becomes nonexistent. Evil has no reality
