Our Principles

Principle One. Oneness – There is One Infinite Reality, which we call by many names. The One Infinite Reality is undivided, complete, and whole within Itself. This Oneness creates everything out of itself, and therefore includes both the absolute and relative, tangible and intangible, physical and metaphysical aspects of reality.

We believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; One indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause.

Principle Two. Love – Love is the self-givingness of Spirit, Its desire to express Itself through and as creation. Love is the impulse behind evolution and Law is the process of creation.

We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all.

Principle Three. Creation – The physical universe is the manifest body of The One Ultimate Reality. It is inherently a blessing and is ever-evolving toward greater Good. We live in a life-affirming universe.

This One manifests Itself in and through all creation but is not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God, it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.

Principle Four. Threefold Nature -The One Ultimate Reality expresses Itself in three aspects – Spirit, Law (Soul), and Body. Each individual is made in the image and likeness of the One Ultimate Reality and has these same three aspects.

Principle Five. Creative Process – The One Ultimate Reality operates through the Universal Law of Cause and Effect. This Universal Law is impersonal, consistent, and intelligent. The Universal Law receives the direct impress of Spirit’s impulse and acts upon it bringing it into form. Individuals, having the same threefold nature, use the Creative Process to shape reality.

We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God and that we are surrounded by this Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of our thoughts and acts upon it.

Principle Six. Spiritual Laws – There are various expressions and uses of Universal Law: For example, the law of correspondence, the law of attraction, the law of giving and receiving, etc. These spiritual laws are also impersonal, consistent, intelligent and are always operating. Individuals can learn to consciously use spiritual laws to create or change conditions.

We believe in the healing of the sick through the Power of this Mind.

We believe in the control of conditions through the Power of this Mind.

Principle Seven. Spiritual Beings – The Ultimate Reality is both transcendent and immanent. Individual beings are spiritual beings living in a spiritual universe having a human experience, expressing through growth and becoming.

We believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God.

We believe in the incarnation of the Spirit in everyone and that all people are incarnations of the One Spirit.

Principle Eight. Freedom – The Divine Plan is one of Freedom. Freedom is the birthright of every individual. We are free to choose and create our live. Conscious communion with Ultimate Reality aligns our choices and releases us from the bondage of limitation.

We believe in the direct revelation of Truth through the intuitive and spiritual nature of the individual, and that any person may become a revealer of Truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God.

We believe in our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny, for we understand that the life of all is God.

Principle Nine. Heaven on Earth – Heaven is the state of awareness of our True Nature. We seek to express Heaven on Earth. Heaven on Earth actively includes every individual and celebrates each individual’s diversity.

We believe that heaven is within us and that we experience this kingdom to the degree that we become conscious of it. We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.

Principle Ten. Eternal Life – The One Ultimate Reality is infinite and eternal evolving. We believe in the eternality, the immortality and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding.

We believe in the eternality, the immortality and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding.
