Lillian DeWaters presents a metaphysical study asserting that the Eternal Self exists beyond improvement or healing.

Summary up to 500 words

In 'The One: A Study of the Absolute,' Lillian DeWaters synthesizes decades of work in spiritual metaphysics to present a radical vision of reality. The book posits that the 'One'—the Eternal Self—is the sole existence, rendering personality, matter, and mind ultimately 'nothingness.' DeWaters argues that suffering, disease, sin, and death are not actual realities but illusions born of the belief in separation from God. The text systematically dismantles the concept of a material world, suggesting that what we perceive as physical reality is often a dream or mental projection. Using analogies such as dreaming of a telephone or eating watermelon while holding bread, DeWaters illustrates that belief creates the experience of limitation. She asserts that healing and deliverance do not come from external methods or spiritual effort, but from the immediate realization that one is already perfect, immortal, and at-one with the Divine. A significant portion of the work addresses the nature of sin and redemption. DeWaters reframes the traditional concept of hell not as a future place of punishment, but as a current state of mind resulting from ignorance and false belief. Through the lens of 'Absolute Science,' she explains that just as a dreamer does not need to physically remove a dream object to wake up, the knower of Truth does not need to 'fight' evil; simply perceiving its nothingness causes it to vanish. The book concludes with an exhortation to lay aside all notions of duality and to worship the One Being, thereby bringing the Kingdom of Heaven into the present moment. DeWaters emphasizes that Truth is impersonal and that seeing the oneness of man transcends malice, jealousy, and strife. She teaches that sickness exists only in belief, not in reality, and that recognizing one's inherent perfection dislodges false beliefs instantly. The work invites readers to practice this vision, declaring that they are well, wealthy, and immortal because they are, rather than trying to become so through effort. Ultimately, the book calls for a recognition that there is no other but the One, and that all apparent differences are merely illusions of the mortal mind.
