Unity Spiritual

Unity Spirtual Center of San Francisco, Parkside District, San Francisco CA

 

"Unity is a positive, practical way of life that seeks to find and promote the good inherent in all people. God is seen as having many attributes, but most important is God as unconditional love. There is nothing that we have done that has made God love us any less and there is nothing that we could do to make God love us any more!

 

Unity stresses that God is not a physical man in the sky, for this is a limited view of God. God is Spirit, everywhere present, the one and only Spirit behind, in and through all things, visible and invisible. There is no place where God is not.

 

Unity proclaims the divinity of Jesus, but goes further and asserts that all people are children of God, and therefore divine in nature. We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; rather, we are spiritual beings having a human experience for soul growth.

 

Unity explains that God's greatest gift to us is the mind, and the mind is our connecting link with God or Divine Mind. The Unity philosophy shows how the action of one's own mind affects the body and circumstances. One changes one's life by first changing one's mind. Emphasis is placed on the effective power that every thought, word, feeling and deed has upon all aspects of one's life.

 

Prayer and meditation are key components of the Unity teaching. Very simply, prayer is talking to God, and meditation is listening to God. We pray and meditate to consciously know our oneness with God."
