Rev. Ed Townley This Sunday
10/15/17

REV. ED TOWNLEY
is a part of the Unity in the City ministerial team; he leads our Sunday services twice each month.  One of the most in-demand speakers in the Unity movement, Rev. Ed is known for his enthusiastic metaphysical approach to the Bible, and for his understanding of the Hero's Journey as a roadmap for our individual spiritual unfoldment. His most recent book, Kingdom Come: A Guide to the Book of Revelation was published in 2012 by Unity Books. He is also the author of The Secret According to Jesus, a guide to the Sermon on the Mount. He answers Bible questions submitted to the international Unity website.
 

Rev. Ed's Reflections

Dear Friends,
“God is not a power over evil, and we have no power over evil.”  This is a typically surprising statement from Joel Goldsmith, the great metaphysical teacher who loved to state his convictions in a way guaranteed to shock.  “God is not a power over evil,” he writes in Realization of Oneness.

 

“To believe that God is a power over evil,” he adds, “is to believe that evil has an existence.  And then we either must believe God to be the cause and creator of evil, or we must accept another cause or creator; and the acceptance of any other cause or creator does away with Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence.  We must have only one Creator, and that one without capacity for evil of any kind.  Then we do not need to have power over sin, disease or death because these have no existence in God, and if they do not exist in God they do not exist.”

 

Goldsmith irritates and upsets me often, but I am deeply grateful for such an absolutist – for a master teacher willing to hold firmly to Truth in the face of all illusion.  Many more orthodox religious writers see the great drama of life as either succumbing to or overcoming the lure of evil.  It is a deeply important shift of focus to see that evil has no reality, and the great drama of life is to see past the illusion of evil to the Truth of God’s Good—imperfectly expressing because we are still imperfect expressors, hesitant to properly exercise the creative potential within us.

Blessings!
