5 Unity Principles

There is only One Power and One Presence

There is only One Power and One Presence active in the universe and in my life, God, the Good, Omnipotent. ALL exists within God. There is no other enduring power.

People are good; I am good.

Our essence is of God; therefore, we are inherently good.
This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus, the Christ, whom we refer to as the one whose life shows the way in truth and love. Jesus lived in total alignment with his God essence. With Jesus as our example, we strive to manifest our Christ consciousness (the incarnation of our divinity) which is within each of us.

Thoughts create experiences.

We are co-creators with God, in that we create reality / our life experiences through thoughts held in mind. Thoughts held in mind produce their kind.
Another common expression in Unity is: “Change your thinking, change your world.”

Prayer is connection.

Through affirmative prayer and meditation, we heighten our awareness of our connection with God and thereby bring forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good. We seek to live in God’s presence with an attitude of gratitude.

Action is living out our beliefs in concrete ways.

Manifestation or incarnation of God’s love and truth in our human experience is our purpose in living. With enlightened or raised consciousness, a person will manifest the truth that he or she knows through thoughts, words and actions. Our spiritual practices include giving of our time, talent, and treasure, serving and ministering with our God-given, Spirit inspired giftedness.
