Unity's Five Basic Principles


God is absolute good, everywhere present—There is only ONE Presence and ONE Power in my life and in the universe, God the Good, Omnipotent-all powerful. God is infinite, unlimited, unchanging, unconditioned and eternal.

The Nature of Humankind is Divine—Within us is a divine potential spiritual perfection, a spark of divinity that the apostle Paul said is, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27). Our very essence is of God, and therefore we are also inherently good.

There is a Law of Mind Action known as Cause and Effect—Every effect we see and experience in our outer world is the result of a thought held in mind. As human beings, we create our experience by the activity of our thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.

Every person’s life can be transformed through prayer and meditation—Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity and everything good.

Truth can be practiced and lived in our everyday lives—Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough; we must also live the Truth that we know, and that’s why Unity is called “Practical Christianity.”
