Who is the creator of evil?

Is the original cause of evil to be traced to the being called Satan?

Where do you get information about such a being? 

You will hardly find it in the Hebrew records—if there the writers must have borrowed the idea from the Persians and Chaldeans. At one time when on Earth I believed firmly in the existence of such a being, but I discarded the doctrine. In the Persian—or Zoroastrian system, there was a God of Evil, not unlike the one spoken of by Jewish writers. 

We now know that there is no such a potentate. You alone are the originator of evil.

We fell away from our happy, innocent state by pride and became what we are now and ever will be until the race becomes what it was before—childlike and open to higher and holier influences.
