So this law of harmony, which has its origin in love, is established in the midst of every individual. I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it. But before this fixed inward principle can be brought to the surface, man must open the way by having faith in the power of love to accomplish all that Jesus claimed for it. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. The love of money, not money itself, is the Page 136 root of all kinds of evil.
Money is a convenience that saves men many burdens in the exchange of values.
Primitive civilization used the cumbersome method of trading products without a money measure of value, while modern progress uses money continually as a medium of exchange. The erasure of this idea from human consciousness is part of the metaphysician's work. This point is not clearly understood by those who are hypnotized by the money idea. When the metaphysician affirms God to be his opulent supply and support and declares that he has money in abundance, the assumption is that he loves money and depends upon it in the same way that the devotees of Mammon do. The difference is that one trusts in the law of God, while the other trusts in the power of Mammon.
