The 5 Basic Unity Principles

1.  We believe that there is only one Presence and one Power in this universe--God, the goodThis truth is at the very heart of Unity. There is only one Presence. There is only God.  Therefore, God is omnipresent. This universal presence is an aspect of God. Since God is all, there can be nothing outside of God. There can be no place where God is not. Everything is part of God. Therefore, God is more than omnipresent; God is Omnipresence! "There is only one presence and one power active in the universe and as my life, God the good, omnipotent."

2.  Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spiritTheir very essence is of God, and, therefore, they also are inherently good. Thus, God is individualized in each person and in the universe as the Christ.

3.  Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought. God operates in the universe according to this law of mind action: "Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind." 

4.  Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind and, therefore, brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good. Prayer is talking to God. Meditation (the silence) is listening to God.

5.  Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must also live the truth that he or she knows. We must walk the talk using the spiritual tools of release and affirmation during daily prayer and meditation.    A desire without a deed is a dead end.

We strive for our ministries, publications, and programs to reach out to all who seek Unity support and spiritual growth.

More on Unity Beliefs

Jesus

We believe that Jesus fully expressed his divine potential and sought to show humankind how to express ours as well. We see Jesus as Our Way Shower, Elder Brother, and Master Teacher. He taught universal truth. Traditionally in Unity, we use the term “Christ” to mean the divinity in humankind. Jesus was a perfect demonstration of the Christ in expression.

The Bible

Unity co-founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, studied the Bible as history and allegory, and interpreted it as a metaphysical representation of humankind’s evolutionary journey toward spiritual awakening. Today, Unity recognizes that the Bible is a complex collection of writings compiled over many centuries. We honor the writings as reflecting the understanding and inspiration of the writers at the time they were written. It continues to have meaning for us today.

Youth and Family Ministry

Unity recognizes that there are many expressions of family life. All are welcome.

Unity creates an affirming environment that fosters positive self-image, personal responsibility and unconditional love and acceptance.

Unity...

  • Beholds all children as whole and perfect expressions of God
  • Empowers children to fulfill their divine potential
  • Teaches children to meditate and pray
  • Invites children to experience a loving God
  • Unity provides a strong spiritual foundation for children’s lives.

Spiritual Action

In Unity, we feel a sacred responsibility, individually and collectively, to make a positive difference through active service in our communities and in our world.
