Unity's 5 Basic Principles

Five Basic Principles of Unity

  1. One Presence and Power
    There is only one Presence and one Power in the universe, God the Good, Omnipotent. Unity does not subscribe to an opposing evil force.

  2. The Divinity of Humankind
    We each have a Divine spark, the Christ, as seed potential within us. No
    intermediaries are required. Jesus, the historical man was our Wayshower, and Christ, was the Consciousness which he attained.

  3. Law and Grace
    There is one law—the law of cause and effect or karma, and through it we co-create by our thoughts, words, and actions. Grace, God’s love in action, saves us from the worst effects of our actions.

  4. Prayer and Meditation
    Prayer is the means by which we establish conscious communion with God. Affirmative prayer changes our consciousness. Meditation helps us discern the “still small voice within.”

  5. Spiritual Practice and Action
    We practice the truth principles one day at a time seven days a week. Service is the natural result.
