“Chaotic and contradictory beliefs commit identity theft, giving matter the identity of Mind.” 21st Century Science and Health, 3rd edition, page 202.
Identity Theft is a crime in which an imposter obtains key pieces of personal information and uses them for their own personal gain. Identity Theft can be a nightmare, therefore people take measures to keep their privacy; however, while we take measures to protect ourselves, we must be careful not to become isolated, because isolation and loneliness will steal the identity of all-present Mind and cause us to spend too much time on the defense.
Don’t be intimidated by beliefs. Fearlessly stick to what you know is true, God’s identity is one, is good, and is manifest as Us. Don’t give human authoritarianism, time, idleness, or vanity the identity of God.
What are some of the ways identity theft occurs?
- The belief of good and evil impersonates spiritual being to further human mortals as God’s child.
- The beliefs of sickness and depression steal the identity of Life, God, to give themselves an appearance of life.
- The belief of inferiority or superiority imitates the allness and oneness of God to exact a human status-quo.
- The beliefs of infatuation or hate mimics all-present Love to advocate self-loving agendas.
Think about it: beliefs work subtly and can easily take us on a downward spiraling ride unless we stand protected by manifesting Godlike wisdom.
Ironically, an effective prevention measure can be traced back to the 10 Commandments when Moses felt as though God promulgated, You shall not take my name in vain. (Exodus 20) Ultimately, we can’t steal God’s identity and use it for our own personal gain or agendas.
Protect your privacy smartly, in other words don’t keep your knowledge of God private, but preserve spiritual knowledge by sharing it forward.

Good one! I especially like the part about not giving human authoritarianism the identity of God. It is important to remember that no matter who you “answer to” at work/school/home or wherever that really you have to answer to God. I will keep trying to be my creative, happy self, no matter who is trying to take that away.
