Unity Principles #5: Walking the Walk
In today's episode, we finish our review of Unity's Five Principles with a look at Principle #5 and a general overview of the Principles.
When the Unity Movement began in the late 1800s, Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore never wrote anything down for the first twenty years. His reasoning was: the person I am today, is not the person I will be tomorrow. He knew that to hold a steadfast set of beliefs was, and is, a limitation contrary to life’s unlimited nature. Eventually, he was persuaded to compile some kind of “theology” for the sake of passing on this new understanding of the relationship between God and Mankind.
Many years later Charles' great-granddaughter, Connie Fillmore Bazzy, was asked if she could summarize Unity teachings for a Daily Word article back when she was the president of Unity school in Kansas City.
She came up with five principles that have since become the cornerstone of our teachings.
These Five Principles are:
1. God is absolute good, everywhere present.
2. Human beings are created in that image of God and our very essence is divine; therefore, we are inherently good.
3. We create our life experiences through our thoughts and beliefs.
4. Through affirmative prayer and meditation, we connect with God and bring out the good in our lives.
5. I do and give my best by living the Truth I know. I make a difference.
In this episode, I will focus on Principle #5 which essentially is “walking the walk”. That is to say, putting the knowledge we have of the principles to work in our lives. Join us this week as we conclude our review of Unity’s Five Principles.
