UNity’s Five Principles
One Presence, One Power
There is only One Presence and One Power active in the universe and through my life: God, the Good, Omnipotent. God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. God is good and present everywhere.
Original Blessing
We are spiritual beings, created in God’s image. The essence of God lives within each person; therefore, all people are inherently good.
Mindful Co-creators
Our thoughts and consciousness shape our experiences in life. Our choice of thought allows us to see the good in all things.
Prayer and Meditation
Through affirmative prayer and meditation we align our lives with the good that orders the Universe.
Action
Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them. Through thoughts, words, and actions, live the truth we know!
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe in God, the living Spirit Almighty; one indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. This one manifests itself in and through all creation, but is not absorbed by its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God, it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.
We believe in the individualization of the Spirit in Us, and that all people are individualizations of the One Spirit.
We believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding.
We believe that heaven is within us, and that we experience it to the degree that we become conscious of it.
We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete freedom from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
We believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God.
We believe that God is personal to all who feel this indwelling presence.
We believe in the direct revelation of truth through our intuitive and spiritual nature, and that anyone may become a revealer of truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God.
We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded by this Creative Mind that receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it.
We believe in the healing of the sick through the power of this Mind.
We believe in the control of conditions through the power of this Mind.
We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-Kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all.
We believe in our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny; for we understand that the life of all is God.
