Good has one source—God, the divine Mind. It is one whole, not fragmented. It cannot be separated into bits and pieces to be put together again like some jigsaw puzzle. I found a helpful analogy for this oneness and wholeness of good in an aspect of year-round chrysanthemum production. When grown naturally, the plants need the shorter days of autumn to bring them into flower. In order to extend the season, some batches are induced to flower earlier by artificially shortening the days, at a certain stage of growth, by covering them with a black material. So potent is the effect of light, however, that if there is so much as a chink in the material to let in the light, the plants directly underneath are not, as it were, "deceived" by the covering but wait to flower at the normal time.
Taking this further, is there only enough light to penetrate the chink? No, there is an abundant supply outside. And is the light that gets in separated from this abundant supply? No, it is an integral part of it.
If we consider our present understanding
of God to be only a "chink," does this
make it less effective?
