BASIC UNITY PRINCIPLES

¤   There is only One Presence and One Power in the universe and as my life, God, the Good.

¤   Our essence is of God; therefore, we are inherently good.  This God essence, called the Christ, was fully expressed in Jesus.

¤   We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in mind.

¤   Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God.

¤   Through thoughts, words and actions, we live the Truth we know.
