When Christ Jesus was baptized of John, there came a voice from heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."Matt. 3:17;Such a blessing indicates the constant relation of God to His children, and it should be considered as the impartial blessing that He bestows on all. Even though Jesus particularly merited this token of esteem, divine Love is showing such benevolence to all its children. Nothing can change the nature of divine Principle and its government of its creation.
Educated in the mythology that included both good gods and bad gods, or the belief that God Himself includes both good and evil, men have believed in both blessing and cursing as possible. And it has even been presumed to be the prerogative of some human beings to bestow blessing or cursing on men. Such a presumption is utterly without foundation and should never be believed or feared. God, good, alone governs man, and God alone is the source of blessing. Divine blessing does not originate in human beings, and hence it can neither be withheld nor reversed. We should come free from all mythology, from any modern version of witchcraft, and from any mistaken sense of the nature of God. When we are living in accord with God's law, we deserve and we get His blessing. When we are living contrary to God's law, we exclude ourselves from the heavenly blessing. The results are scientific and not subject to personal whim or favor.
Because human consciousness and human experience are affected by the beliefs one holds, we should make sure that we are not holding on to mistaken concepts. The understanding of the true nature of God disabuses human thought of belief in evil and in turn liberates human experience from the effect of this belief. God is divine Truth, divine Love. There is no favoritism, no evil intent, no malicious purpose in the divine nature. And there is no foundation for any claim that anyone has a divine prerogative to curse anyone or to affect anyone adversely. One should thoroughly purge his thinking of any superstitious belief in a power apart from God, good.
