==Monism==

The doctrine of [[monism]] holds that God is the entire substance of the universe and that the whole of the universe, all of its matter and energies taken together as one undivided whole, is God. This is the basis of [[Gnosticism]] and the practice of [[Magic]], and the underlying dynamic of the various forms of [[New age movement|New Age beliefs]]. According to [[Christian Science]] all of existence is Mind, the Mind of God, and matter as such does not exist in reality—thus sickness, illness and disease are only illusions of mistaken belief which can be eliminated by knowledge of the truth.<ref>''Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures'', [[Mary Baker Eddy]].</ref>
