Sure, we try to live in principle, but can’t we just have a bad day? Sometimes people in Unity get the impression they’re never supposed to feel angry, negative or fearful. In fact, feelings are a divine gift. They’re our built-in guidance system, and they are the key to creating the lives we want.

For weeks, Rev. Ellen Debenport and absolutist Laura Shepard have been insisting that anything in our lives can be good. But what about evil? Does it exist? Do we create it? Does that mean evil is a part of God? These are some of the most difficult questions we face in New Thought.

Living in principle would be easy if we lived alone on an island. But we live with other people—at work, at school, sometimes at home and certainly every time we go out in public. Our days are filled with relationships of all kinds. Life’s greatest joys and sorrows usually involve relationships. How do we live in principle where other people are concerned? Rev. Ellen Debenport and guest Laura Shepard talk about shifting our consciousness in relationships.

Everyone seems to want more money. Many of us were first attracted to Unity by its prosperity teachings, the idea that we can attract more money or manifest abundance in our lives. We can.

A lot of people believe they create their own experience, until they get sick. Then you’ll hear, “The flu is going around,” or “I didn’t create this cancer!” Rev. Ellen Debenport and her guest, absolutist Laura Shepard, won’t back down on the idea that all sickness begins in consciousness. But they’ll also talk about how to stay well. Share your experience with them!

The people who pioneered the New Thought movement a century ago were absolutists. They believed absolutely in spiritual principle, and they put it to work in their lives. How does spiritual law show up in your life? Are you making decisions from higher consciousness, or do you get bogged down in the old, negative ways of thinking? Ellen is joined by absolutist Laura Shepard to talk about living in principle.
