The Idea of Infinite Goodness

We have addressed the value of using spiritual principles and infinite words as seeds for
thought, and we have talked about the selection of pure infinite goodness as a possible
thought seed. The next step is to apply this in our thinking. When we have identified a
spiritual principle on which to build our reasoning process, we can apply spiritually
minded thinking and reflection to any subject we might wish. We might learn to think in
this special way about ourselves, about our relationships, families, jobs, cities,
governments, and about our world. In this way, we can continually improve and
regenerate our beliefs about all these things.
The main rule for this thinking and reflection process is that it must be consistent with the
principle we choose. The principle we will use is not an elaborate axiom or a statement of
human belief. It is simply a string of good words. When we use these words as the
principle of our thinking and reasoning, we are enabled to think above and beyond our
beliefs. Although we have defined our use of the word "infinite" to include the word
"spiritual," let us include that word here explicitly, just to make sure we have not jumped
over an important step. We will usually abbreviate this to fewer words, but in this
following exercise our guiding principle will be this four word string - pure infinite
spiritual goodness.
If pure infinite goodness is our mental principle, every thought we might have in line
with it will be good. Because it is a pure principle, all possible ideas about it must be
purely good, with no impurities. Its purity suggests a level of soundness and a certain
density. It is solid goodness without empty spaces or voids.
Since its goodness is infinite, there are no limits to its goodness. It is not possible to
imagine limited good coming from this infinite principle. Within the realm of this
principle, there is an endless supply of good ideas.
