Unity Beliefs
We
Honor the Divinity in All
-
God
is absolute good, every-where present.
-
Human
beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within.
Their very essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently
good.
-
Human
beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.
Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
-
Prayer
is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind
and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything
good.
-
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.
