IN the realm that God, Mind, creates, all is spiritual and all is good; there can be no suggestion of evil. Man, Mind's spiritual, perfect manifestation, has never been, is not now, nor ever will be, touched by evil in any form.
In the state of human experience in which an individual entertains both the thoughts he accepts from the one divine Mind and the thoughts of mortal mind that lodge in his consciousness there seems to be the presence of evil, which must be dealt with and seen as unreal.
The forms of evil, or error, Mrs. Eddy calls collectively animal magnetism. She writes in Science and Health (p. 103): "As named in Christian Science, animal magnetism or hypnotism is the specific term for error, or mortal mind. It is the false belief that mind is in matter, and is both evil and good; that evil is as real as good and more powerful."
